Hello,

Using the edgeR manual, I'm trying to follow the examples to run the goana function. I run the glmQLFTest (without any issues) and then use its output "qlf" as the input for goana or the topTags(qlf). I get the following errors.


> qlf <- glmQLFTest(fit,coef=2)
> go <- goana(qlf, species="Mm")
Error in goana.default(de = DEGenes, universe = universe, ...) : 
  No annotated genes found in universe
> 
> toptags <- topTags(qlf, n=50)
> go <- goana(toptags, species="Mm")
Error in goana.default(toptags, species = "Mm") : 
  components of de should be vectors
> TT <- as.vector(toptags)
> go <- goana(TT, species="Mm")
Error in goana.default(TT, species = "Mm") : 
  components of de should be vectors

> toptags

I try to get them into the list of character vectors, but have difficulty converting them and get the same errors. My geneIDs are of the form ENSMUSG00000026596. Could that be causing my error?

I have followed other entries on the help forum to figure it out without any resolution. I'm fairly new to R and definitely new to this type of analysis; so, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time, Adelyn

Finally got it to work! (seems that once you ask for help, you always figure it out)

My issue must have been in the ensembl IDs I adapted the code from the manual 4.1.3 and got the feature to run.

Here is that code for ensembl ID to EntrezIDs for a mouse genome:

>x <- read.delim("subread_counts_R_EnsemblID.txt")
> groups <- factor(c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,6,7,7,7,8,8,8))

> y <- DGEList(counts=x[,2:25], genes=x[1],group=groups)



> library(org.Mm.eg.db)

>idfound <- y$genes$EnsemblID %in% mappedRkeys(org.Mm.egENSEMBL)
> y <- y[idfound,]
> dim(y)
    [1] 32061    24
 > egENSEMBL <- toTable(org.Mm.egENSEMBL)
> head(egENSEMBL)
> m<- match(y$genes$EID, egENSEMBL$ensembl_id)
> y$genes$EntrezGene <- egENSEMBL$gene_id[m]
> keep <- filterByExpr(y)
> y <- y[keep,,keep.lib.sizes=FALSE]
> y <- calcNormFactors(y)
> design <- model.matrix(~groups)
> y <- estimateDisp(y,design)
> fit <- glmQLFit(y,design)
> qlf <- glmQLFTest(fit,coef=2)
> go <- goana(qlf)
> topGO(go, ont="BP", sort="Up", n=30, truncate=30)
                                     Term Ont   N Up Down         P.Up    P.Down

It just took me a few reads through until I got it! Hope this comment helps if other people are struggling like I did. Thanks Bioconductors for writing such a thorough manual and an awesome program!!!

goana requires genes to be identified by NCBI Gene IDs whereas you have Ensembl IDs. Please see the goana documentation by typing help("goana").
