I run the example code and got the report error. What's the problem, wish for your answer. Thanks! Version：R 3.5.0

code：

library(scater)
data("sc_example_counts")
data("sc_example_cell_info")
example_sce <- SingleCellExperiment(assays = list(counts = sc_example_counts), colData = sc_example_cell_info)

and I got:

Error in rownames<-(*tmp*, value = c("Gene0001", "Gene0002", "Gene_0003", : invalid rownames length

It works for me. You haven't posted your sessionInfo(), but I'd suggest you:

• Check that you are BiocManager::valid(), and fix any problems otherwise; or
• Forcibly reinstall the relevant packages, as suggested here.
