Need help with DESeq2

[KYR]

I have a text file, containing read counts per gene for each treatments and control, with the following column

[Gene Symbol] [C1] [C2] [C3] [B1] [B2] [B3] [A1] [A2] [A3]
C is Control
A is Treatment 1
B is Treatment 2
-> Each of C, A an B have 3 replicates

When I do data.frame it generates an error

library( "DESeq2" )
library("Biobase")
mydata4 = read.table("matrix4.txt", header=TRUE)
head(mydata4)

samples <- data.frame(row.names=c("C1", "C2", "C3", "B1", "B2", "B3", "A1", "A2", "A3"), condition=as.factor(c(rep("C",3), rep("B", 3), rep("A", 3))))
Error in data.frame(row.names = c("C1", "C2", "C3", "B1", "B2", "B3",  : 
  row names supplied are of the wrong length

How can I fix that ? I seems I need to subset my data though I don't know how to do this and deseq2 doesn't transpose my columns to rows

That command won't produce the error you showed.

[KYR]

That command won't produce the error you showed.

Indeed, I started again from a fresh R command shell, and that error doesn't appear anymore. However it generates another one:

library( "DESeq2" )
library("Biobase")
mydata = read.table("matrix4.txt", header=TRUE)
samples <- data.frame(row.names=c("C1", "C2", "C3", "B1", "B2", "B3", "A1", "A2", "A3"), condition=as.factor(c(rep("C",3), rep("B", 3), rep("A", 3))))

dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = as.matrix(mydata), colData=samples, design=~condition)

Error in validObject(.Object) : 
  invalid class “SummarizedExperiment” object: 'colData' nrow differs from 'assays' ncol

So I check the number of columns and rows for each and ncol has 1 more than ncol

I'm guessing it's coming from the gene symbol column..though how can I fix this??

[dpryan]

What's the output of

dim(as.matrix(mydata))

I'm guessing that the mydata object has the gene names as a column rather than as the row names.

Slight Tangent ... Using "htseq-count" outputs ... this works for me ....

Here's the template I hack for deseq2 ....

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
library(DESeq2,lib.loc="/home/finneyr/Rlib")

sampleFiles = c(
"file1.txt" ,
"file2.txt" ,
#... (fill in the names of you htseq count files here 1 to N files.
:"filen.txt"
)

#set your condtions for the files in SampleFiles
sampleCondition = c( "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "treated" , "untreated" , "untreated" , "untreated" , "untreated" , "untreated" )

sampleTable<-data.frame(sampleName=sampleFiles, fileName=sampleFiles, condition=sampleCondition)

#might need this ... I'm not sure
libType = c ( "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" , "paired-end" )

options(max.print=100000)
options(width=500)

#set directory to your place where you keep your files llisted in "sampleFiles" which are htseqcount output files.
directory="/data/nextgen/finneyr/novo/CNT"
ddsHTSeq<-DESeqDataSetFromHTSeqCount(sampleTable=sampleTable, directory=directory, design=~condition)
print(ddsHTSeq)

colData(ddsHTSeq)$condition<-factor(colData(ddsHTSeq)$condition, levels=c("treated","untreated"))

dds<-DESeq(ddsHTSeq)
print(dds)
res<-results(dds)
print(res);
# sort by padj (:adjusted p-value") ...
res<-res[order(res$padj),]

#write results to file name "rpt5" , change this to your output file name, deseq2 explains log2foldchange and other fields.
write.csv(as.data.frame(res),file="rpt5")
q(save="no")

[dpryan]

Why do you print the results (and not even in an abbreviated form!) to screen when you're just going to write them to a file as well?

see Devon Ryan's answer above. if you show us head(as.matrix(mydata)) I'm guessing the first column might not be counts. it could be gene names, converted by read.table into factors.

[KYR]

What's the output of

dim(as.matrix(mydata))

I'm guessing that the mydata object has the gene names as a column rather than as the row names.

I gives me the following:

> dim(as.matrix(mydata4))
[1] 25197    10

I guess I have one more row column because of the gene symbol column which is first and should be row.names.

yes that's what's happening here, the first column gene symbol should be row.names. Though I don't know how to fix that. Any help would be greatlly appreciated..

[dpryan]

You actually have 4 additional columns, since you only described 9 samples. You probably just need to:

mydata4 = read.table("matrix4.txt", header=TRUE, row.names=1)

That's what I've done originally, but it gave me the following error:

> mydata4 = read.table("matrix4.txt", header=TRUE, row.names=1)
Error in read.table("matrix4.txt", header = TRUE, row.names = 1) : 
  duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed

So I decided to dump the row.names, this is weird it never happened before.

[dpryan]

You could also simply:

mydata4 <- mydata4[,-1]

However, you should investigate why you have duplicate gene names. It's likely that something went amiss when that file was made.

Uhh indeed we have duplicated gene names, we have to investigate before proceeding further. Thanks for your answers

Hi

I just started using deseq2 for DE analysis
I have an excel sheet input with gene names followed by 16 columns with reads.
I tried to generate a matrix using this file and I keep getting an error similar to that is mentioned here
So this is what is happening

analysis2 <- as.matrix(deseq2_analysis2)
(condition <- factor(c(rep("group1", 4), rep("group2", 4), rep("group3", 4), rep("group4", 4))))
group1 group1 group1 group1 group2 group2 group2 group2 group3 group3 group3 group3 group4
group4 group4 group4
Levels: group1 group2 group3 group4
(coldata <- data.frame(row.names=colnames(analysis2), condition))
Error in data.frame(row.names = colnames(analysis2), condition) :
row names supplied are of the wrong length

What am I doing wrong? I want an output that is sorted by gene names

This is the output of the head command

head(analysis2)
gene.name Sample1_group1 Sample2_group1 Sample3_group1 Sample4_group1 Sample1_group2
[1,] "YAL068C" " 0" " 0" " 0" " 0" " 2"
[2,] "YAL067W-A" " 0" " 0" " 0" " 0" " 0"
[3,] "YAL067C" " 243" " 242" " 109" " 130" " 271"
[4,] "YAL065C" " 16" " 7" " 52" " 30" " 23"
[5,] "YAL064W-B" " 23" " 21" " 21" " 33" " 11"
[6,] "YAL064C-A" " 38" " 42" " 76" " 88" " 47"

[4,] " 10" " 22" " 46" " 15" " 17" " 46"
[5,] " 28" " 56" " 19" " 19" " 22" " 40"
[6,] " 40" " 44" " 65" " 42" " 35" " 74"
Sample4_group3 Sample1_group4 Sample2_group4 Sample3_group4 Sample4_group4
[1,] " 2" " 0" " 1" " 0" " 0"
[2,] " 0" " 0" " 0" " 0" " 0"
[3,] " 176" " 96" " 73" " 132" " 77"
[4,] " 39" " 18" " 11" " 39" " 27"
[5,] " 27" " 20" " 16" " 26" " 18"
[6,] " 83" " 49" " 23" " 55" " 52"

I am new to R and DE analysis and any help will be appreciated
