  • [DESeq] invalid class "CountDataSet" object

    I encountered problems after re-installing DESeq. I had DESeq 1.4.1 installed in R 2.13.0 (Win 7) for a couple of weeks now, running my scripts without problems. Today I re-installed DESeq (though it's still at 1.4.1) and now I run into problems. I am using exactly the same script which used to work previously:

    Code:
    > setwd("C:/Documents and Settings/azazel/Desktop/workspace")
    > library(DESeq)
    > countsTable <- read.table(file="DESeq.in", header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors=TRUE)
    > rownames(countsTable) <- countsTable$gindex
    > countsTable <- countsTable [,-1]
    > conds <- c("x1","x2","x3","x4","x5","x6","x7","x8")
    > cds <- newCountDataSet(countsTable,conds)
    Error in validObject(.Object) : 
      invalid class "CountDataSet" object: undefined class for slot "experimentData" ("MIAxE")
    I do not understand this error (the last two lines in above code-block).

    Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Azazel,

    thanks for the feedback. It is difficult to tell because you do not give enough detail (see below on how to fix that), but one reason could be that your versions of Bioconductor packages on which DESeq builds (e.g. Biobase) are out of sync.

    My recommendation would be to install R2.14 from http://cran.r-project.org and then follow the installation instructions at http://www.bioconductor.org/packages...tml/DESeq.html, i.e. run
    source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
    biocLite("DESeq")
    There have been changes to DESeq in the newer version that you will get, and you may have to adapt some of your scripts. I find some of these changes quite important, they are worth the trouble.

    How to make an informative post (which increases the likelihood and speed of getting a good answer)? See http://www.bioconductor.org/help/mai...posting-guide/
    IMHO this is a useful posting guide also for posts to Seqanswers.

    Hope this helps
    Wolfgang

      Thank you very much for your answer regarding my question. However, regarding your criticism of my original post: I have asked a well-formulated question including the relevant details, provided a proper subject, I have listed versions used, and provided sourcecode! Care to explain what you mean by "not enough detail"? Do you want a coredump of my machine or what. The link you mention is just superfluous bla-bla and does not contain anything which I have not done already. I am always thankful for the great information and help I receive through SEQanswers, and I am honestly thankful for your insightful posts at SEQanwers... but referring me to that link is simply patronizing and not helpful or productive at all.

        Azazel,

        you did not provide the output of sessionInfo(). This is relevant because one possible reason for the error that you got is that your packages are out sync. But as I said, it is difficult to tell.

        Did running source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R"); biocLite("DESeq") solve the problem?

        Best wishes
        Wolfgang.

          I managed to update by simply doing a fresh install of R version 2.14.0 (2011-10-31), and then DESeq 1.6.0. The problems were caused by bioconductor dependencies.

            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...
