Dear Bioc-devel, In BioC 3.9 and 3.10 I've noticed some errors on recount which today I finally traced. It looks like the internals of rtracklayer::import.bw() changed (or mabye S4Vectors:::normarg_names) in such a way that if you specify as input to rtracklayer::import() the "selection" argument with a named GRanges object that has repeated ranges, the function call fails. This can be avoided from a user's perspective by using GenomicRanges::reduce() on the input to "selection", which I guess is ultimately the best option. I now use GenomicRanges::reduce() on derfinder version 1.18.4 (BioC 3.9) and 1.19.4 (BioC 3.10) to solve this issue for recount. But well, I thought that it would be best to share this with all of you.
Best, Leo Here's the actual R code for reproducing this situation: sampleFile <- c( 'SRR387777' = 'http://duffel.rail.bio/recount/SRP009615/bw/SRR387777.bw' ) regs <- GenomicRanges::GRanges( 'chrY', IRanges::IRanges(start = c(1, 1), width = 10), strand = '-' ) names(regs) <- c(1:2) result <- rtracklayer::import(sampleFile, selection = regs, as = 'RleList' ) # Error in S4Vectors:::normarg_names(value, class(x), length(x)) : # attempt to set too many names (2) on IRanges object of length 1 # 12: stop(wmsg("attempt to set too many names (", names_len, ") ", # "on ", x_class, " object of length ", x_len)) # 11: S4Vectors:::normarg_names(value, class(x), length(x)) # 10: `names<-`(`*tmp*`, value = nm) # 9: `names<-`(`*tmp*`, value = nm) # 8: setNames(ranges(x), value) # 7: `names<-`(`*tmp*`, value = names(flatWhich)) # 6: `names<-`(`*tmp*`, value = names(flatWhich)) # 5: .local(con, format, text, ...) # 4: import(FileForFormat(con), ...) # 3: import(FileForFormat(con), ...) # 2: rtracklayer::import(sampleFile, selection = regs, as = "RleList") # 1: rtracklayer::import(sampleFile, selection = regs, as = "RleList") result <- rtracklayer::import(sampleFile, selection = GenomicRanges::reduce(regs), as = 'RleList' ) library('sessioninfo') options(width = 120) session_info() # ─ Session info ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # setting value # version R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) # os macOS Mojave 10.14.6 # system x86_64, darwin15.6.0 # ui X11 # language (EN) # collate en_US.UTF-8 # ctype en_US.UTF-8 # tz America/New_York # date 2019-08-21 # # ─ Packages ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # package * version date lib source # assertthat 0.2.1 2019-03-21 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # backports 1.1.4 2019-04-10 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # Biobase 2.45.0 2019-05-02 [1] Bioconductor # BiocGenerics 0.31.5 2019-07-03 [1] Bioconductor # BiocParallel 1.19.2 2019-08-07 [1] Bioconductor # Biostrings 2.53.2 2019-07-09 [1] Bioconductor # bitops 1.0-6 2013-08-17 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # callr 3.3.1 2019-07-18 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # cli 1.1.0 2019-03-19 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # colorout * 1.2-1 2019-07-27 [1] Github (jalvesaq/colorout@7ea9440) # crayon 1.3.4 2017-09-16 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # DelayedArray 0.11.4 2019-07-03 [1] Bioconductor # desc 1.2.0 2018-05-01 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # devtools * 2.1.0 2019-07-06 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # digest 0.6.20 2019-07-04 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # fs 1.3.1 2019-05-06 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # GenomeInfoDb 1.21.1 2019-05-16 [1] Bioconductor # GenomeInfoDbData 1.2.1 2019-07-27 [1] Bioconductor # GenomicAlignments 1.21.4 2019-06-28 [1] Bioconductor # GenomicRanges 1.37.14 2019-06-24 [1] Bioconductor # glue 1.3.1 2019-03-12 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # IRanges 2.19.10 2019-06-11 [1] Bioconductor # lattice 0.20-38 2018-11-04 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.1) # magrittr 1.5 2014-11-22 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # Matrix 1.2-17 2019-03-22 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.1) # matrixStats 0.54.0 2018-07-23 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # memoise 1.1.0 2017-04-21 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # pkgbuild 1.0.4 2019-08-05 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # pkgload 1.0.2 2018-10-29 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # prettyunits 1.0.2 2015-07-13 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # processx 3.4.1 2019-07-18 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # ps 1.3.0 2018-12-21 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # R6 2.4.0 2019-02-14 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # Rcpp 1.0.2 2019-07-25 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # RCurl 1.95-4.12 2019-03-04 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # remotes 2.1.0 2019-06-24 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # rlang 0.4.0 2019-06-25 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # rprojroot 1.3-2 2018-01-03 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # Rsamtools 2.1.3 2019-07-05 [1] Bioconductor # rtracklayer 1.45.3 2019-08-16 [1] Bioconductor # S4Vectors 0.23.18 2019-08-16 [1] Bioconductor # sessioninfo * 1.1.1 2018-11-05 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # SummarizedExperiment 1.15.6 2019-07-31 [1] Bioconductor # testthat * 2.2.1 2019-07-25 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # usethis * 1.5.1 2019-07-04 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # withr 2.1.2 2018-03-15 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # XML 3.98-1.20 2019-06-06 [1] CRAN (R 3.6.0) # XVector 0.25.0 2019-05-02 [1] Bioconductor # zlibbioc 1.31.0 2019-05-02 [1] Bioconductor # # [1] /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6devel/Resources/library _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
