DESeq2 Error

[dpryan]

If you have a blank line at the end then that'll happen.

There appeared to be a row of NAs but how is that possible? When I checked countData.csv,all counts were integers. Did the NAs somehow get introduced upon import?

countData = read.csv (file.choose(), header=TRUE, row.names=1)

?

[Michael Love]

That means that you have some NA's in the matrix, which should only have non-negative integers.

You can try to find them with:

narows <- apply(countData, 1, function(x) any(is.na(x)))

table(narows)

You need to remove these rows from the countData first:

countDataClean <- countData[ !narows, ]

[dpryan]

Likely unrelated, but you shouldn't have fractional counts.

The summary indicates that you have NA ("not applicable") somewhere. You probably just have a row of them, so:

countData[which(is.na(countData[,1])),]

will probably show the row in question. Just remove it.

same error

I am getting the same error as OP. What are you guys referring to when you say NAs?

I have 24 samples: 2 treatment groups, 6 subjects with 2 time points each.

My code is as follows:

designframe <- data.frame(row.names = colnames(countData),
                          tx = factor(c(rep("c",12),rep("g",12))),
                          patient = factor(c("1","1","2","2","3","3","4","4","5","5",
                                             "6","6","1","1","2","2","3","3","4","4","5","5","6","6")),
                          time = factor(c(rep(1:2,12))))

patient <- factor(designframe$patient)
tx <- factor(designframe$tx)
time <- factor(designframe$time)
designframe <- data.frame(tx,patient,time)

dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData, colData = designframe, formula(~patient+time+tx:time))

The DESeqDataSetFromMatrix line results in:

Error in if (any(assay(se) < 0)) { :
missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

The "sanity checks" yield the following:

I see NA's of 1.0 under each column but I'm not sure what that means.

Thanks!

[Michael Love]

I added an NA check to the constructor in front of the negative value check, since I only had an NA check in the validity function which is called later on.

Hi Michael Love and hiddenrisk,

Thank you so much for your replies- both helped fix the error, for I did need to rework the comparisons, and I did have a stray NA. Thanks again!

[Michael Love]

I can't see either where the error is coming from. Maybe some sanity checks on the matrix you provide to countData, to make sure it is an integer matrix with 10 columns and no NAs.

class(countsTable)
dim(countsTable)
apply(countsTable, 2, summary)

[hiddenrisk]

Hi- As I understand the documentation, you need to have a sample data frame that has replicated information. As I read your sample table at present, you have 12 different levels for the conditions (ie. 12 rows), and then only two levels for the "samples" ("ctl" and "test"). Therefore, you are telling DESeq that there are two conditions to test (ctl, and test) rather than the 5 conditions you actually tested. My suggestion would be to use the following code to make your colData:

> samples<-c("X1", "X2", "A1", "A2", "B1", "B2", "C1", 'C2', "D1", "D2")
> condition <- c(rep("ctrl",2),rep("A",2),rep("B",2),rep("C",2),rep("D",2)
> pData = cbind(samples, condition)
> dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = countsTable, colData=pData, design=~condition)

Hi All,
I am trying to use DESeq2 to analyze some RNAseq count data from a .csv. It is an experiment with 5 conditions done in duplicate (WT, null, condition1, condition2, condition3) . I am relatively new to R, and have been primarily borrowing snippets of applicable scripts, largely from this thread. Here is what I have so far:



>library(ggplot2)
>library(DESeq2)
>library(Biobase)

>df<-read.csv('/Volumes/NICK3/R/data/RNAseq_sandbox.csv', header=T, sep=",", row.names=1)

>countsTable <-data.matrix(df[1:10], rownames.force = NA)
> head(countsTable)

>conditions<-c("X1", "X2", "A1", "A2", "B1", "B2", "C1", 'C2', "D1", "D2")
>samples <- data.frame(row.names=conditions, condition=as.factor(c(rep("ctl",2), rep("test",8))))
> samples
# condition

#X2 ctl
#A1 test
#A2 test

dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = countsTable, colData=samples, design=~condition)
#Error in if (any(assay(se) < 0)) { :
# missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

I am a little unsure of where to go from here with this error. I dont have null values or negatives. It seems that I am not giving the right syntax for making the summarizedExperiment.

Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance!
