Hello,

I am a new user of DEXSeq and I would need some help concerning an error message I get and I cannot solve.

My sample table looks like this:

> phenodata
    samplename condition
bu1    bulge_1     bulge
bu2    bulge_2     bulge
bu3    bulge_3     bulge
le1     lef1_1      lef1
le4     lef1_4      lef1
le5     lef1_5      lef1
le6     lef1_6      lef1

I am trying to create an ExonCountSet object but I get an error message: 

> library(DEXSeq)
> ec = HTSeqCounts(countfiles=c("bulge_1.txt","bulge_2.txt","bulge_3.txt","lef_1.txt","lef_4.txt","lef_5.txt","lef_6.txt"), design=phenodata)
Error: could not find function "HTSeqCounts"

Even if the DEXSeq package seems to be loaded as seen in the session Info:

HTSeqCount is not part of the DEXSeq package. I have just installed this package and check it. I have also run a search in the pdf vignette and HTSeqCount is not defined within the document

You probably need to install and use HTSeqCount outside R. This happens with limma, DESeq, DESeq2, etc

I think the function has been renamed as DEXSeqDataSetFromHTSeq(), and the chapter that you are using  is (already, unfortunately) out-of-date (I couldn't find via online search the version of DEXSeq used in the chapter -- no sessionInfo()). Some archaeology shows that read.HTSeqCount was 'deprecated' on 2014-03-21, in version 1.9.7 of the package, so more than two years ago; the current version of the package is 1.16.10. The message accompanying the change is

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r87693 | a.reyes | 2014-03-21 09:25:45 -0400 (Fri, 21 Mar 2014) | 1 line

most of package rewritten, see NEWS
------------------------------------------------------------------------

so there may be additional differences between the text of the book that you are reading and the package. The good news is that there is an extensive current vignette (also browseVignettes(package="DEXSeq")) in the package itself.

And this is written in that vignette about HTSeq

The initial steps of a DEXSeq analysis, described in the following two sections, is typically done outside R, by using two provided Python scripts

Thank you all for your answers. I changed the method and I am now following this pipeline as you suggested. However, I also have some problems.

When I call the DEXSeqDataSetFromHTSeq, I obtain the following error:

> dxd = DEXSeqDataSetFromHTSeq(countFiles, sampleData=sampleTable, design= ~ sample + exon + condition:exon, flattenedfile=flattenedFile)
Error in strsplit(rownames(dcounts), ":") : non-character argument

Here is what countFiles and sampleTable look like:

I guess this is correct. However, when looking at the count files, I have the impression that the .txt look weird. Here is the first one (sample: basal_1) as an example. This is all that is contained in the file:

_ambiguous    0
_ambiguous_readpair_position    0
_empty    9651846
_lowaqual    846199
_notaligned    421258

I created this file with this command (and successfully installed pysam before):

 

$ python /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/DEXSeq/python_scripts/dexseq_count.py -f bam mm10.genes.gff Sample_Basal_1_159/accepted_hits_no_rRNA.bam counts/basal_1.txt



​Is this output normal with dexseq_count.py? If not, does anyone know what could be the problem? I tried with different options, but as my data are not paired-end and strand specific, I should use is like this.

read.HTSeqCounts() is indeed the function implemented into R that reads the counts that you have previously obtained using HTSeqCount. If you have not run HTSeqCount, you have not counts to read

I know for sure that HTSeqCount is a standalone application. After reading the vignette and looking into the DEXSeq help, I can ensure 100% that this function is not implemented in this package
