  • argument "dispersion" is missing, with no default

    Hi!

    I am trying to perform DEG analysis on two treatment groups using edgeR. I originally planned to keep the analysis similar to what was used for another purpose previously. To prepare the data, I used the following functions/code:

    Code:
        y <- DGEList(counts=countTable, group=listGroups)
        keep <- rowSums(cpm(y)>1) >= 2*nRep #Filtering rows
        y <- y[keep, keep.lib.sizes=FALSE] #Filtering rows
        y <- cpm(y, TRUE, TRUE) # Option 2 (edgeR)
        y <- betweenLaneNormalization(y, which="full", round=FALSE)
    This seems to work fine, and leads to an object y with the following structure:

    Code:
    > head(y)
                                    N.1      N.2      N.3      P.1      P.2      P.3

    G4756 3.949146 3.653455 4.189536 4.132336 4.205552 4.074346
    I planned on running the next sequence of edgeR functions as follows:

    Code:
        y = estimateCommonDisp(y)
        y = estimateTagwiseDisp(y)
        de = exactTest(y, pair=c(group1,group2))
        tt = topTags(de, n=nrow(y))
        nc = cpm(y, normalized.lib.sizes=TRUE)
    However, I receive an error upon running estimateTagwiseDisp() as follows:

    Code:
    Error in aveLogCPM.default(y, lib.size = lib.size, dispersion = dispersion) : 
      argument "dispersion" is missing, with no default
    I am not too confident in what I have here. Everything before estimateCommonDisp() was intended to be consistent with previous work done on this data. However, I am concerned about what we may be missing here.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    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...
