Essentially, due to low input RNA (issue with sequencer), there's a high number of 0s in the gene count matrix with featurecounts, and this gives a poor dispersion estimate (shown below, with ~60,000 genes)

Then to deal with this, I filtered out the lowly expressed genes (with idx <- rowSums( counts(dds, normalized=TRUE) >= 5 ) >= 3)…
