Hi, I am encountering an error when running makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC() that was not occurring yesterday. I have tried on 2 separate computers/R versions and get similar errors. Playing around, it seems like the function works for other genomes but not for hg19, which is what I am looking for. Any ideas on what is going wrong? > library("TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene") > tx <- makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC(genome="hg19",tablename="refGene") Error in tableNames(ucscTableQuery(session, track = track)) : error in evaluating the argument 'object' in selecting a method for function 'tableNames': Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : line 1 did not have 2 elements > traceback() 2: tableNames(ucscTableQuery(session, track = track)) 1: makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC(genome = "hg19", tablename = "refGene") > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] parallel stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [8] base other attached packages: [1] TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene_2.10.1 [2] GenomicFeatures_1.14.2 [3] AnnotationDbi_1.24.0 [4] Biobase_2.22.0 [5] GenomicRanges_1.14.4 [6] XVector_0.2.0 [7] IRanges_1.20.6 [8] BiocGenerics_0.8.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] biomaRt_2.18.0 Biostrings_2.30.1 bitops_1.0-6 BSgenome_1.30.0 [5] DBI_0.2-7 RCurl_1.95-4.1 Rsamtools_1.14.2 RSQLite_0.11.4 [9] rtracklayer_1.22.0 stats4_3.0.2 tools_3.0.2 XML_3.98-1.1 [13] zlibbioc_1.8.0 -- Christopher Cabanski, PhD Postdoctoral Research Associate Department of Medicine, Oncology Division / The Genome Institute Washington University in St. Louis https://www.sites.google.com/site/crcabanski/ ____ This email message is a private communication.

You can disregard my previous message. makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC() is working correctly again. -Chris > Hi, > I am encountering an error when running makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC() that > was not occurring yesterday.
