I try to read some data using DropletUtils::read10xCounts. However, I get an error:

```{r}
library(DropletUtils)
sce <- DropletUtils::read10xCounts("/scratch/GRCz10.e87/")
```

Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, : line 13 did not have 2 elements

The folder "/scratch/rulands/zebrafish_brain_christian_lange/bfx908.full_data/filtered_gene_bc_matrices/GRCz10.e87/" contains the "matrix.mtx", "genes.tsv" and "barcodes.tsv" files. However, I did not create those files myself, so I am not entirely sure whether they might be corrupted. I cannot upload the complete data and I do not understand how I could create a minimal dataset to reproduce the error. I can read "matrix.mtx" using read10xMatrix. Does anyone know, how I can read the full data?

I daresay that this is due to some unusual symbol on line 13 of genes.tsv; probably a gene name with a quote in it, if I had to guess. Could you confirm this is the case, by just doing something like head -20 genes.tsv and seeing what happens around line 13?

Very good hint, thanks for your help! The gene name in line 13 contains a space. Maybe changing read.table(gene.loc, header = FALSE, colClasses = "character", stringsAsFactors = FALSE) to read.table(gene.loc, header = FALSE, colClasses = "character", stringsAsFactors = FALSE, sep = "\t") would solve this. Now I am thinking of how to work around the issue right now. Should I rather modify the data or read it in a different way?

First 20 lines of genes.tsv:

After replacing every space in genes.tsv with an underscore, I can read the data just fine.

Yes, that's right, or switching to read.delim. I have done this and pushed this to the Github repository; you can either try to install this new version, or wait for it to show up on the BioC build machines in 1-2 days. Or you can just edit genes.tsv to get rid of the space, which probably shouldn't be there in the first place.
