  • TopGo, factor of 1 means

    Hi,

    I'm trying to do GO enrichment analysis using topgo, but i've encountered a problem, read below. what does factor w/ level 1 mean? it says that i should have 2 level factors. how can I fix this?


    > myInterestingGenes <- as.vector(AvsB$genes)
    > geneList <- factor(as.integer(geneNames %in% myInterestingGenes))
    > names(geneList) <- geneNames
    > names
    function (x) .Primitive("names")
    > str(geneList)
    Factor w/ 1 level "0": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
    - attr(*, "names")= chr [1:18756] "Genes" "c10020_g1" "c10035_g1" "c10052_g1" ...


    Error in .local(.Object, ...) : allGenes must be a factor with 2 levels

    Your problem is probably from this line

    geneList <- factor(as.integer(geneNames %in% myInterestingGenes))

    geneNames %in% myInterestingGenes will return a vector of TRUE / FALSE of length length(geneNames)
    converting that to an interger will make it 1's and 0's. In this case it seems that every element of geneNames overlaps with an element in myInterestingGenes resulting a vector of 1's which you then change to a factor. If you are supposed to have a vector of only 1's then you can set the levels in the factor call to make sure that the factor has 2 levels, but then you still only one type which is probably not what you intend.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
