  • 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

  • #2
    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.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
