error in cummeRbund dispersionPlot

how to delete most 0 values

I had the same issue as well - it was caused by some extremely low dispersion (and count) values. Some were of the order of 10e-308, which is lower than the minimum floating point value supported by R (on my architecture anyway). I set these to 0 and the plot then worked.

I need to read up a bit more about cuffdiff - obviously it normalises the count values, but I can't see why any should be much less than 1.

I have same trouble when I draw disperse graph. Do you know how to code to delete most small values and small counts e.g. 2e-168

Same issue for me. In other forum I read that "#" character in gtf file have to be removed. In my case I dont have # but still have the error.

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue if anyone has a solution?

Hi,

I am trying to run cummeRbund with the cuffdiff results.
these is my workflow:

library(cummeRbund)

setwd("cummeRbund/")

cuff <- readCufflinks(dir=cuffFile_dir, gtfFile="merged.gtf", genome="dm3" , rebuild=TRUE)

everything seems to run good. all tables are ok, but I am getting these warnings:

Warning messages:

1: attributes are not identical across measure variables; they will be dropped 
...
8: attributes are not identical across measure variables; they will be dropped

I have read here, that these messages can be ignored, so I am not sure they're connected to my problem.

I am than trying to execute the DispersionPlot commend. But this gives me an error:

> disp<-dispersionPlot(genes(cuff))
> disp
[B]Error in seq.default(min, max, by = by) : 
  'from' cannot be NA, NaN or infinite[/B]

Does anyone have an idea why I get this error?
How can I prevent this from happening?

thanks

Assa
