Hi, all,

I aligned my RNAseq raw data to cDNA using Kallisto and import the result using tximport as suggested by the DESeq2 tutorial (tx2gene maps ensembl_transcript_id to ext_gene symbol)

txi.kallisto_gene <- tximport(files, type = "kallisto", tx2gene=tx2gene,ignoreTxVersion=TRUE)

When I looked into the txi.kallisto_gene, it shows as below, the first row does not have a name, anyone knows how to deal with it? can I just ignore it?

               495-RB-139   495-RB-140   495-RB-141 495-RB-142  495-RB-143 495-RB-144

This occurs because you have transcripts associated with the empty string in your tx2gene table. Take a look at that table and you can solve the problem there one of two ways, either giving them the transcript ID as a gene ID, or removing those transcripts from the table. I don’t know which way to go is better.

Thanks Michael. I tried the first way, giving them the paste0("UNKNOWN",transcriptID) as the gene ID.

Hi Raymond. Could you please elaborate on where exactly you inserted the paste0 code into the tximport script? I'm having the exact same problem as you right now.
