Hi,

I am using DEsubs for subpathway search for my differentially expressed genes. I get error below when running the DEsubs command. I used this code:

if (.Platform[['OS.type']] == 'unix') { 
options('DEsubs_CACHE'=file.path(path.expand("~"), 'DEsubs') ) }

library("DEsubs")

GeneExp_Matrix <- get(load("GeneExp_Matrix.rda"))
sign_genes <- get(load("sign_genes.rda"))

myRankedList <- sign_genes[c('adj.P.Val')]

DEsubs.out <- DEsubs(org='hsa',
                     mRNAexpr=GeneExp_Matrix,
                     mRNAnomenclature='ensembl_gene_id',
                     pathways='All',
                     DEtool=NULL, DEpar=0.05,
                     CORtool='pearson', CORpar=0.6,
                     subpathwayType='community.walktrap',
                     rankedList=myRankedList,
                     verbose=TRUE)

Pruning nodes...Error in read.table(file, dec = ".", sep = " ") : 
'file' must be a character string or connection

 

I checked the file structures of mine and the results are below:

 

str(GeneExp_Matrix)

$ adj.P.Val: num  5.40e-52 4.91e-51 4.91e-51 3.29e-50 2.76e-49 ...

 

I checked also the files in toy-data of the package as below:

 

load(system.file('extdata', 'data.RData', package='DEsubs'))
str(mRNAexpr)
 num [1:6880, 1:8] 0 114 1647 31 128 ...

 - attr(*, "names")= chr [1:5023] "226" "229" "230" "217" ...

 

Note: The rownames of rankedList in toy-data is Entrez Gene ID but I want to use Ensembl Gene ID.

How can I fix this error?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Talip,

The error seems to have originated from passing a data frame as a ranked list rather than a named vector.

I was able to reproduce your error with the package's example as follows:

load(system.file('extdata', 'data.RData', package='DEsubs')) 
DEsubs.run <- DEsubs(
    org='hsa',
    mRNAexpr=mRNAexpr,
    mRNAnomenclature='entrezgene',
    pathways='All',
    DEtool=NULL, DEpar=0.05,
    CORtool='pearson', CORpar=0.7,
    subpathwayType='community.walktrap',
    rankedList=data.frame('adj.P.Val'=rankedList),
    verbose=TRUE)

Pruning nodes...Error in read.table(file, dec = ".", sep = " ") : 
'file' must be a character string or connection

So, in your case, you just have to replace 

myRankedList <- sign_genes[c('adj.P.Val')]

with

myRankedList <- setNames(sign_genes[, 'adj.P.Val'], rownames(sign_genes))

, which converts the single column of the data frame to a named vector, assuming the identifiers are stored as rownames.

Best regards,

Panos

Hi Panos,

Thanks very much for your reply. I changed my code as you advised, it works now. But the DEsubs.out object does not have subnetworks as result. The structure is as below:

Is the problem depending on using of Ensembl Gene IDs? Should I use Entrez Gene IDs?

Hi,

I tried again with entrez gene IDs as below, but subnetworks are not generated.

Then I tried with DEtool option with voom+limma and edgeR, there was problems for voom+limma but edgeR option worked.

But I used voom+limma separately and I want to give significant genes with adjusted p values and Ensembl IDs to DEsubs. How can I fix this problem?

Hi Talip,

If you update to the latest version 1.6.3, you can supply the adjusted P-values with any type of identifier (from the ones specified in the manual). Give it a couple of days until the necessary changes have been propagated. Meanwhile, you can simply convert the identifiers to Entrez Ids manually: 

if ( package.version('DEsubs') < '1.6.3' )
{
    require('org.Hs.eg.db') 
    geneInfo <- AnnotationDbi::select( 
        x=get('org.Hs.eg.db'), keys=names(myRankedList), keytype='ENSEMBL', columns='ENTREZID' )
    map <- setNames( geneInfo[, 'ENTREZID'], geneInfo[, 'ENSEMBL'] )
    names(myRankedList) <- map[names(myRankedList)]   
}
