Hi all,

I'm experiencing some issues getting my peaks, reads, and metadata into ChIPQC object format. The function seems to choke when compiling the annotation (mm10). My sample sheet contains information about 3 samples and the peak files are in narrowPeak format (from MACS2). I've copied my commands and the error below. This works fine when I don't specify an annotation. It throws the same error when I try mm9 and hg19.

> samples = read.csv(file="ATAC_TEST_sampleSheet_local.csv", header=TRUE)
> exp = ChIPQC(samples, annotation = "mm10", chromosomes=NULL)
BL6-nkd BL6  2018-05-16  3 narrow
P0-1-5 P0  2017-05-17  2 narrow
P0-1-2 P0  2018-03-26  1 narrow
Compiling annotation...

3: reduce(unique(unlist(transcripts(txdb))))

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Any troubleshooting suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

NB:

I've tried running with the package's example data using exactly the same commands as the vignette, but even that isn't working (although it looks like for a different reason).

hi,

I have added the fix in development version ChIPQC 1.17.1 and to ChIPQC 1.16.1 now. Should be available from git repository and through biocLite tomorrow.

very best,

tom

hi,

Thank you for report. Yes, it looks like something changed in behavior of unlist on a GRanges objects.

I will update ChIPQC to avoid unlisting.

best,

tom

Hi Thomas,

Please note that GRanges objects were never intended to support unlist(). However it used to be that unlist() would work on them, just by chance, and be a no-op. Not sure why your code calls unlist() on a GRanges object or what you expected it to do. What has changed in BioC 3.7 is that now calling unlist() on a GRanges object is an error.

I just committed a change to GenomicRanges to make the error message a little bit less obscure:

unlist(GRanges("chr1:3-10"))
# Error in getListElement(x, i, ...) : 
#   GRanges objects don't support [[, as.list(), lapply(), or unlist() at
#   the moment

This is in GenomicRanges 1.32.7 (release) and 1.33.14 (devel).

I am having the same issue. Thanks for working on that!

I am looking forward to run the update.

Hi Tom,

I am wondering if this issue has been solved. I'm currently using ChIPQC_1.18.2 and I also have the same error message. Error in getListElement(x, i, ...) : GRanges objects don't support [[, as.list(), lapply(), or unlist() at the moment

Thank you so much.
