    DESeq Design Issue

    Hi all,

    I'm new to DESeq and am having a problem setting up the design matrix for an experiment that has 3 biological conditions with 3 replicates each and an additional factor to take into an experimental batch effect.

    I have proceeded in the following manner:

    > library(DESeq)

    > data <- read.table("aggregated_counts_final.txt", header=T, row.names=1)

    > condition <- c(rep("Control",3), rep("Rods",3), rep("Cubes",3))
    > batch <- c(rep(c(1,2,3),3))
    > Design <- as.data.frame(cbind(condition,batch),row.names=colnames(data))
    > CDS <- newCountDataSet(data,Design)
    > CDS <- estimateSizeFactors(CDS)
    > CDS <- estimateDispersions(CDS)
    Error in .local(object, ...) :
    None of your conditions is replicated. Use method='blind' to estimate across conditions, or 'pooled-CR', if you have crossed factors.

    I can't quite figure out where I've gone wrong... it seems specific to my design matrix as this is very similar to the Pasilla data example, but that works fine on my system. I suspect I'm not understanding something very basic.

    My sessionInfo is as follows:

    > sessionInfo()
    R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26)
    Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)

    Thank you so much, in advance.

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
