Thanks for your reply Jean, I think your interpretation is correct but when I run your code I end up with the below dataframe and obviously the bins created there don't correspond to a chromStart change of 115341:
chrom chromStart chromEnd name cumsum bin 1 chr1 10089 10309 ZBTB33 10089 1 2 chr1 10132 10536 TAF7_(SQ-8) 20221 2 3 chr2 10133 10362 Pol2-4H8 30354 3 4 chr2 10148 10418 MafF_(M8194) 40502 4 5 chr2 210382 210578 ZBTB33 50884 5 6 chr2 216132 216352 CTCF 67016 6 the first two rows should have the same bin number (same chrom, <115341 diff), then rows 3&4 should be in another bin (different chrom from rows 1&2, <115341 diff), and rows 5&6 in another one (same chrom but >115341 difference between row 4 and row 5). it seems the new.bin line of your code isn't quite doing what it should but I can't pinpoint the error there...
