Hi, after I added gene description to y <- DGEList(counts=rawCountTable, group=group, genes = merged.descriptions) the gene names have replaced by numbers

> logCPM <- cpm(y, prior.count=2, log=TRUE)
> head(y$genes)
   gene_name                                    gene_description

> rownames(logCPM) <- row.names(y$genes$genes)
> colnames(logCPM) <- paste(y$samples$group, 1:2, sep="-")
> o <- order(tr$table$PValue)
> logCPM <- logCPM[o[1:30],]

+           trace="none", dendrogram="both", cexRow=0.6, cexCol=0.6, density.info="none")

How is it possible to get back the gene names in heatmap.2?

Best wishes,

I think I found the solution rownames(logCPM) <- as.character(row.names(y)).
