Hello,

I am using tximport for importing transcript level estimates from RSEM data.

This is how the first 2 rsem files look like (G19439, G19440):

When I'm using the abundanceCol="TPM" parameter it gives the correct TPM values:

> txi.rsem <- tximport(files, type = "rsem", txIn=TRUE,
+                      txOut = TRUE,ignoreTxVersion = T, abundanceCol = 'TPM')
reading in files with read_tsv

If I change to abundanceCol="FPKM" it gives me the same 'TPM' result

 txi.rsem <- tximport(files, type = "rsem", txIn=TRUE,
+                      txOut = TRUE,ignoreTxVersion = T, abundanceCol = 'FPKM')

So, it seems that the abundanceCol is not functioning, or there is something I'm doing incorrectly.

Those columns are for use when type="none" (the default):

This argument is used to autofill the arguments below (geneIdCol, etc.) "none" means that the user will specify these columns.

So when you specify type="rsem" it fills in the arguments and ignores your input.

Dear Mike, Thank you for the response! I think that the documentation was not very clearly written for these parameters. 1. There is no default for abundanceCol mentioned in the manual. 2 It is not explicitly written which arguments are auto-filled if you specify the “type” parameter. 3. The function output didn’t contain any warning that some arguments were not used. For me it was counter-intuitive that it would behave this way, I only found out by chance.

Thanks for the feedback.

I've updated the docs in the devel branch to be more explicit that those arguments are ignored unless type="none".
