Hi,  I cannot resolve the source of this error when I attempt to merge samples using phyloseq.  The command is:

> phymerge <- merge_samples(physeq, "expvar")
Error in `rownames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c("PBRC_LR_BM4218", "PBRC_LR_BM4787",  : 
  attempt to set 'rownames' on an object with no dimensions

 

I downloaded the Global Patterns example and performed the command successfully with the example dataset.  Here is a snapshot of my data.

Thanks for taking a look,

Susan
