R session on macOS Sierra crashes when making a TxFeatures class from TxDb

library(SGSeq)

## make a TxDb object
hsaEnsembl <- makeTxDbFromBiomart(dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
## make a TxFeatures class
txf <- convertToTxFeatures(hsaEnsembl)

R behaves fine when using the TxDb downloaded from BioConductor

library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene)
txdb <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.knownGene

I've done all my RNA-Seq mapping by STAR using Ensembl annotations. Is this the best way to get TxFeatures object with Ensembl exon names?

I could run this without any issues. If the problem persists maybe you can try reinstalling R and Bioconductor?

I decided to raze everything (~/.Rhistory; ~/.Rapp.history, ~/Library/R/3.x/, etc) and then re-installed R and the libraries. Now everything works!

> install.packages("RSQLite")

> source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

> biocLite(c("GenomicFeatures", "AnnotationDbi", "SGSeq"))

I uninstalled R and RStudio, then re-installed both. The crash persists. Is there a workaround using other TxDb but annotated by ENSEMBL notations?

Hi, since I can't reproduce the problem it is difficult to troubleshoot. As an alternative to TxDb objects, the convertToTxFeatures function also accepts a GRangesList of exons grouped by transcript. So you could try something like this

> tx <- exonsBy(hsaEnsembl, "tx", use.names = TRUE)
> mcols(tx)$txName <- names(tx)
> df <- select(hsaEnsembl, names(tx), "GENEID", "TXNAME")
> mcols(tx)$geneName <- df$GENEID[match(names(tx), df$TXNAME)]
> txf <- convertToTxFeatures(tx)
