easyRNASeq errors / experiences

Hi hollandorange,

You can register for that mailing list there: http://www.bioconductor.org/help/mailing-list/ (the best option IMO) or follow it on GMANE there:

Hi Rboettcher,

The bam files that I used for easyRNAseq was generated from Tophat. I also wanted to use GSNAP, since I heard it is more accurate.

Could you also forward me to the bioconductor email thread for this issue? thanks!

Hi rboettcher,

Thanks for your email pointing me to that thread.

There indeed seem to be a bug in a sub-setting step when getting the reads' information.

As I'm usually not scanning the seqanswers forum for posts related to easyRNASeq, a better place to post about it is the bioconductor mailing list (I've forwarded your post there). Let's go on with this discussion over there.

Cheers,

Nico

Hi hollandorange,

could you include which aligner (+ version) you used? I forgot to mention that I aligned to Hg19 with GSNAP (version 2012-07-12).

I have got the same error:

#get annotation

#chr.sizes=chr.sizes,

summarization="geneModels",
filenames=bamfiles[1],
outputFormat="RNAseq"
)

Hi all,

At the moment I'm trying to set up easyRNASeq + edgeR to analyse my paired-end data using R. I'm following the easyRNASeq manual to acquire a table of read counts which can then be used as DGElist object for edgeR.

Unfortunately, I do not even get close to the point of obtaining the DGElist object, as the easyRNASeq function crashes with the following error:

Checking arguments... 
Fetching annotations... 
Computing gene models... 
Summarizing counts... 
Processing EMC_18_alignment.bam 
Updating the read length information. 
The alignments are gapped. 
Minimum length of 1 bp. 
Maximum length of 101 bp. 
Error in mk_singleBracketReplacementValue(x, value) : 
  'value' must be a CompressedIntegerList object
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In easyRNASeq(organism = "Hsapiens", annotationMethod = "biomaRt",  :
  There are 16696 synthetic exons as determined from your annotation that overlap! This implies that some reads will be counted more than once! Is that really what you want?

Did anyone experience a similar error message yet?
My bamfiles list consists of 4 samples aligned via GSNAP and here's how I run the function itself:

count.genes <- easyRNASeq(organism="Hsapiens",
                     annotationMethod="biomaRt",
                     gapped=TRUE, count="genes",
                     summarization="geneModels",
                     filesDirectory=getwd(),
                     filenames=bamfiles,
                     outputFormat="RNAseq")

I use the devel version of easyRNASeq since it supports varying read lengths.


Any help is greatly appreciated.
