Hi Marc and Others,

I am trying and learning to use makeOrgPackageFromNCBI() to make organism packages, but always encounter some problems during the process. Therefore, I really hope to get some suggestions and thank you a lot!

Please see the three detailed problems below(Maybe the problems are too many, but really hope to get some hints from you, thank you again.):

1> I run those functions in R version 3.3.1 and Windows 7.

2> As I have download those files needed for the function: gene2pubmed.gz, gene2accession.gz, gene2refseq.gz, gene_info.gz, gene2go.gz, NCBI.sqlite, idmapping_selected.tab.gz, the codes are shown below:

a. The first error-'error in statement: no such table: altGO_date'!

library(AnnotationForge)
library(AnnotationDbi)
library(GenomeInfoDb)
library(biomaRt)

makeOrgPackageFromNCBI(
version="0.1",
maintainer="Guido Hooiveld <guido.hooiveld@wur.nl>",
author="Guido Hooiveld <guido.hooiveld@wur.nl>",
outputDir=".",
tax_id='10029',
genus="Cricetulus",
species="griseus",
NCBIFilesDir = ".",
rebuildCache=F)

processing gene_info: description
processing alias data
processing refseq data
processing accession data
processing GO data
Error in sqliteSendQuery(con, statement, bind.data) :
error in statement: no such table: altGO_date

b. The second error. when I set rebuildCache=T, it occurs 'Error in file(description = tmp, open = "r") : object 'tmp' not found'!

makeOrgPackageFromNCBI(
version="0.1",
maintainer="Guido Hooiveld <guido.hooiveld@wur.nl>",
author="Guido Hooiveld <guido.hooiveld@wur.nl>",
outputDir=".",
tax_id='10029',
genus="Cricetulus",
species="griseus")
If files are not cached locally this may take awhile to assemble a 12 GB cache databse in the NCBIFilesDir directory. Subsequent calls to this function should be faster (seconds). The cache will try to rebuild once per day.
preparing data from NCBI ...
starting download for 5 data files
getting data for gene2pubmed.gz
Error in file(description = tmp, open = "r") : object 'tmp' not found

c. The third error. When I tried some other organism, it occured another problem-'Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : ?Please use 'available.species' to see viable species names or tax Ids'!

makeOrgPackageFromNCBI(version = "0.0.1",
author = "me",
maintainer = "me <me@mine.org>",
outputDir = ".",
tax_id = '7227',
genus = "Drosophila",
species = 'Drosophila melanogaster',
NCBIFilesDir = ".",
rebuildCache=F)

or

makeOrgPackageFromNCBI(version = "0.0.1",
author = "me",
maintainer = "me <me@mine.org>",
outputDir = ".",
tax_id = '7227',
genus = "Drosophila",
species = 'melanogaster',
NCBIFilesDir = ".",
rebuildCache=F)

Both of them show the same problem:

First, note that the author and maintainer should by all rights be you, not Guido Hooiveld, nor the fake person that I often use in examples (me, and me@mine.org).

Second, note that you have an aberrant Bioconductor installation. Those are not the correct packages for the R version you are using, and before we go any further you need to do

source("https://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(ask = FALSE)

To correct that issue. Then, if the problems persist, please let us know.

Hi James,

Thank you very much for your response. I have done as you suggested, I ran my Rstudio as administrator. However, it still occured the same problem:

>source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

Bioconductor version 3.3 (BiocInstaller 1.22.3), ?biocLite for help

>biocLite(ask = FALSE) #Here, I also tried biocLite("AnnotationForge",ask = FALSE) to reinstall the package, but                     #it didn't work.

As Marc pointed out, you can simply use the OrgDb on AnnotationHub.

Please see: help('select') for usage information

As to your error, the help page for that function says

genus: Single string indicating the genus.

species: Single string indicating the species.

And the species in this situation is "melanogaster", not "Drosophila melanogaster", which is the genus and species.

Hi James,

Thank you for your warning and answer. This is my first time to use the website Bioconductor, I will note that next time!

For my question, first, I know I could find the Drosophila OrgDb by 'AnnotationHub', I just want to try and learn the function 'makeOrgPackageFromNCBI' to see whether it works in my computer^_^;

Second, I have seen the help page for that function and tried to only use 'melanogaster' for the 'species', but nothing could help, it still occured the same problem. What's more, I checked the 'available.species':

> spec <- available.species()
> spec[which(as.numeric(spec$taxon)==7227),]
taxon species
10836 7227 Drosophila melanogaster

As you can see, it shows me the 'species'-'Drosophila melanogaster'. I even tried 'Drosophila_melanogaster' or 'Drosophilamelanogaster', but the problem is always there;

Third, 'Drosophila melanogaster' is just an example, which is not my objective organism. As the above, I posted three problems for trying different examples (none of them is my studying object) in my computer, I just want to learn this awesome function for my future research.

Therefore, I really need your help to fix the three problems of the function 'makeOrgPackageFromNCBI' in my computer. Please do not advise me to give up the function...

Thank you quite a lot^_^

Well, you don't say what this mysterious species is, but if I assume it's Cricetulus griseus, then

Hi James,

So strange for the problem. Well, it is OK for your computer, not for mine. And could you help me check whether there is something for my studying object by using 'makeOrgPackageFromNCBI' function ? --- 'Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 168-L', one very rare species:

> spec <- available.species()

> spec[which(as.numeric(spec$taxon)==1116211),]

taxon species

1031039 1116211 Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 168-L

I have checked it in AnnotationHub package, it showed no records:

library(AnnotationHub)

> hub <- AnnotationHub()

snapshotDate(): 2016-07-20

> query(hub, c("OrgDb","Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 168-L"))

AnnotationHub with 0 records

# snapshotDate(): 2016-07-20

Many thanks,

Shisheng

You won't be able to build an OrgDb package for a species that isn't in NCBI's databases:

zcat gene2accession.gz | cut -f 1 | grep -w 1116211 | wc -l

Hi James,

For the AnnotationHub package, how could I choose the object? For example:

> query(hub, c("OrgDb","Solanum lycopersicum"))
AnnotationHub with 2 records
# snapshotDate(): 2016-07-20
# $dataprovider: NCBI, ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/
# $species: Solanum lycopersicum
# $rdataclass: OrgDb
# additional mcols(): taxonomyid, genome, description, tags, sourceurl, sourcetype
# retrieve records with, e.g., 'object[["AH13359"]]'

title
AH13359 | org.Solanum_lycopersicum.eg.sqlite
AH48047 | org.Solanum_lycopersicum.eg.sqlite

It shows me two results: "AH13359" and "AH48047", does it mean "Solanum lycopersicum" has two sub-taxonomies? how could I recogniaze these two? which one should I choose?

Thanks a lot,

Shisheng

Hi James,

Sorry to come back to this rather old thread, but I got stuck when I tried to reproduce your run of the makeOrgPackageFromNCBI() function. See below. FYI: I tried to build an OrgDb for Chinese Hamster myselves rather than to use the AnnotationHub because I would like to see the differences between a 'fresh' OrgDb and a slightly dated version (triggered by C: Org.db: why a supposed unique key (ID) has multiple entries?).

I got this error:

Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) :
  1 unknown species: ‘Ailuropoda melanoleuca
’ Please use 'available.species' to see viable species names or tax Ids
>

1st of all: I don't know why 'Ailuropoda' is returned, since I didn't provide this argument..??

Anyway, I checked for CH using available.species() and I found two entries having the same TaxID:

> spec <- available.species()
> spec[grepl('griseus',spec$species),]
        taxon                             species
<<snip>>
13907     10029                                                Cricetulus barabensis griseus
13908     10029                                                           Cricetulus griseus
<<snip>>
>

After viewing the source code of GenomeInfoDb I noticed the error message is triggered by calling the internal function .getTaxonomyId(). When I manually run this function I noticed this goes wrong because an "NA" is returned, which then results in printing of the error message.

> data(speciesMap, package="GenomeInfoDb")
> species="griseus"
>     species <- gsub(" {2,}", " ", species)
>     species <- gsub(",", " ", species, fixed=TRUE)
>     idx <- match(species, speciesMap$species)
> idx
[1] NA
>

As far as I can understand this is caused by the fact that the taxID 10029 thus matches with 2 descriptors/synonyms (but maybe I am completely wrong!)

Any suggestions on how to get it working? :)

Thanks,

Guido

Update: using a fresh R-session the above-mentioned error persists, even when running makeOrgPackageFromNCBI() without explicitly specifying genus and species. Also strange error on ‘Ailuropoda melanoleuca' still is returned...??

If files are not cached locally this may take awhile to assemble a 12 GB cache databse in the NCBIFilesDir directory. Subsequent calls to this function should be faster (seconds). The cache will try to rebuild once per day.

I think on Windows this regular expression https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/AnnotationForge/blob/master/R/NCBI_ftp.R#L1498 doesn't strip the '\r' from the end-of-line, so the species has a trailing '\r' -- hence the odd formatting of the 'unknown species' error. Maybe there are other issues, and traceback() after the error would help.

I deleted all files and cache, and started a new session. I copied the last code from James (except for name & email) but few hrs later I still got the same error.... I now also noted that the OP reported the same error. Apparently this seems to be specific for the Windows platform...

Below also the output of traceback().

Another update; yes!, it (almost) worked...

Triggered by Martin's comment I downloaded the source code of AnnotationForge, and modified line 1498 slightly by adding "\r":

listing<- strsplit(listing, "\r\n")[[1]]

(was: listing<- strsplit(listing, "\n")[[1]])

[In addition, I noticed that in line 1492 (here) the ENSEMBL database release is hard-coded/set to be version 80. Since the current version is v85 (see here at the bottom of FTP page), i changed that to 85 ( getFastaSpeciesDirs <- function(release=85){ ), but I don't think this caused the error I experienced. Nevertheless, may be good to have this set automagically to the latest version by using ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current_mysql ?].

I then installed from source, and reran makeOrgPackageFromNCBI(). Building the OrgDb works fine now. :) However, I installing it did not work yet... (any suggestions on that? "Error : Invalid DESCRIPTION file. Malformed maintainer field.")

So, the problem of failure to build the OrgDb on a Windowns machine seems to be solved by adding \r. Whether this change has any impact in Linux I don't know....

Here is the error:

Error : Invalid DESCRIPTION file

Malformed maintainer field.

See section 'The DESCRIPTION file' in the 'Writing R Extensions'
manual.

Which seems pretty self explanatory, and a quick look at the argument positions

> args(makeOrgPackageFromNCBI)
function (version, maintainer, author, outputDir = getwd(), tax_id,
    genus = NULL, species = NULL, NCBIFilesDir = getwd(), databaseOnly = FALSE,
    useDeprecatedStyle = FALSE, rebuildCache = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Should have allowed you to self-diagnose.

Thanks James, quite obvious indeed...

All working now:

+ version="0.0.1",
+ author = "Guido Hooiveld <guido.hooiveld@wur.nl>",
+ maintainer = " Guido Hooiveld <guido.hooiveld@wur.nl>",

@ Martin: I noticed you had already fixed the 'end-of-line' issue; would it also be an idea to change the ENSEMBL ftp address, so the latest release will always be used? See my comment above C: problem with makeOrgPackageFromNCBI when making an annotation package.

Hi Shisheng,

Can I ask why it is that you want to call this function instead of just using the OrgDb objects that have been pre-built and loaded into AnnotationHub?

Marc

Hi Marc,

As what I replied to James above, 'Drosophila melanogaster' is just an example, which is not my objective organism. As the above, I posted three problems for trying different examples (none of them is my studying object) in my computer, I just want to learn this awesome function for my future research.

Just for learning^_^

Hi guys,

I'm having similar problems with regard to this post, and I'm using a Windows computer...I haven't hacked any code yet like Guido did since this post was active about three months ago and this package was already updated particularly for the '\r' issue in the species argument of makeOrgPackageFromNCBI function.

My problem is that the gene2accession file download doesn't complete. After R is Not Responding for awhile it then times out, and the error tells me to try again later! However, the gene2accession file icon does appear in the directory but the file size is ultimately 0 KB.

The NCBIsqlite (429,179 KB) and gene2 pubmed (31,486 KB) files do download to the working directory.

I tried making the org package from NCBI about three dozen times only to get the same result because I initially thought it was connectivity issues based on the error...after reading this post it may be more serious than the error I'm getting.

makeOrgPackageFromNCBI(version = "0.1",
author = "Franklin Johnson <franklin.johnson@amway.com>",
maintainer = "Franklin Johnson <franklin.johnson@amway.com>",
outputDir = getwd(),
tax_id = "3749",
genus = "Malus",
species = "",
                   NCBIFilesDir = getwd(),
                   databaseOnly = FALSE,
                   rebuildCache = TRUE,
                   verbose = TRUE)

Even if I use tax_id= "3750", genus = "Malus" and species = "domestica" I have the same issue.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Franklin

Thanks James. I thought to start a new thread, but thought the responding person would paste the link to this thread as an answer. So, I posted here to 'request more detail.' Anyhow, yes, I used AnnotationHub, but when I went to makeTxDbFromGranges my object

md_blast2go <- md[["AH13353"]] is not a GRange object. I tried to make md_blast2go into a GRange object using the GenomicRanges package but it cannot convert this type of object to a GRange object.

Are you able to makeTxDbFromGranges with your 'malus' object? As such, I'm only as far as you are in AnnotationHub, and I looked at the more than 56K entrez ids, proteins, ..., available info using 'select' functions columns and keytypes.

Thanks,

Franklin
