Hello everyone, I'm trying to analyse the RNAseq data, but ate the Contr matrix step the script shows an error, which is: unexpected symbol in "contr_none = makeContrasts(0M_of_5_Aza vs". I have tried all combinations and still don't know how to overcome this problem. I have attached a screenshot of my file called design_445. Maybe the problem is in the computer I'm working on(Mac).

library(limma)
library(RNAseq123)


# Read-in the data:
data = read.table('stud_data_23.txt', header = TRUE, row.names = 1,sep="\t")

si = design_445
data = DGEList(rc, group=si$condition)

cpm = cpm(data)
lcpm = (cpm(data, log = TRUE))

cpm_TMM = calcNormFactors(data, method = "TMM")

If you want makeContrasts to parse the contrasts, then the condition names must be syntactically allowable variable names in R. That means that the condition names cannot start with a number.

See help(makeContrasts) which says:

The parameter names must be syntactically valid variable names in R and so, for example, must begin with a letter rather than a numeral.

You can run the condition names through make.names to see if they are valid names.
