    DESeq input table upload

    Hi,

    I am new to DESeq (R version 2.13.1) and am trying to upload a tab delimited file.. (I am using the sample file "TagSeqExample.tab"), but I am getting an error..

    Error in round(countData) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function
    ==================================================

    I tried my dataset (tab de-limited file) but with the same results.. I distinctly remember my tab separated file getting uploaded fine with the previous version of DeSeq (however I need to use this version to use a few new methods)

    I have confirmed that the columns contain only numeric characters

    Can anyone pint me in the right direction?

    cheers,

    Nandan

    If I remember correctly you should first do the following:

    over <- read.delim("C:\\Nandan\\TagSeqExample_top.tab", header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors=TRUE)
    conds=c(rep("GZ", 1), rep("DZ", 1))

    rownames(over) <- over$gene
    over <- over[,-1]

    This problem arises because non-numeric values are being passed on (the first colum counts as well). This way only numeric values are present in your count table.
    Also check wether there are any empty entries in your table.

      Hi,
      I think the problem is in the count table (over). In your case the first column contains the gene name instead of containing the first count. You should be able to fix it by removing the first column and by assigning gene names to row names (untested):
      Code:
      over <- read.delim("C:\\Nandan\\TagSeqExample_top.tab", header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors=TRUE)
      gene_names<- over[,1]
      over<- over[,2:ncol(over)]
      rownames(over)<- gene_names
      ## ...etc
      Also, I don't remember the functions of DESeq exactly but I think the vector of conditions should be of the same length as the the number of samples so your conds=c(rep("GZ", 1), rep("DZ", 1)) is incorrect.

        Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
        by SEQadmin2



        CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

        Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

        Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
        by SEQadmin2


        Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

        The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
