I am importing a large fcs file (flow cytometry) into R.

when looking at the values for one of the columns, I notice that all the high values are squashed to 262144.0 ( = 2^18). Is there a way I can tell R to use longer bits for its doubles?

    This is a question for the `maintainer()` of the package you are using to read the data, or perhaps the [Bioconductor support site](https://support.bioconductor.org) -- R does not have a problem with values greater than 2^18, as evidenced by the output of `.Machine$double.xmax`. – Martin Morgan May 18 '15 at 21:30
