I want to explore RNAseq data from Expression Atlas (EMBL-EBI database). The dataset downloaded from the database was in TPM, so I changed NAs into '0's and multiplied the values by 1E+6 (to get integer values) and added 1 for later log-transformation

data4PCA[is.na(data4PCA)] = 0
data4PCA = data4PCA * 1000000
data4PCAint = as.matrix.data.frame(data4PCA + 1)

I want to do rlogTransformation the data (rlog) but got stuck at creation of a DESeqDataSet:

dds = DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = data4PCAint,
                             colData = design4pca,
                             design = ~ System)

which returns an error:

converting counts to integer mode Error in validObject(.Object) :
invalid class “DESeqDataSet” object: NA values are not allowed in the count matrix In addition: Warning message: In mde(x) : NAs introduced by coercion to integer range

head(data4PCAint)

returns:

I found this example to test with:

df=data.frame("treat"=sample(c(80:100),6, replace=FALSE),
              "treat1"=sample(c(90:103),6, replace=FALSE),
              "treat2"=sample(c(80:100),6, replace=FALSE),
              "ctrl"=sample(c(60:90),6, replace=FALSE),
              "ctrl1"=sample(c(60:90),6, replace=FALSE),
              "ctrl2"=sample(c(60:90),6, replace=FALSE))
conds<-as.factor(c("Treat","Treat","Treat","Control","Control","Control"))
coldata <- data.frame(row.names=colnames(df), conds)
dds=DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData=df,colData=coldata,design=~conds)

...and it works fine?! but my data cannot get through.

You’ve multiplied by a much too large number and made counts that are not anywhere close to estimated counts.

Why don’t you use tximport instead which was designed to do this transfer?

Thanks for fast reply, I was testing several setups of the tximport for last several minutes. I have single file with 15 columns (Tx, Gene.Name, and 13 columns named by tissues with TPMs) I used:

txi <- tximport(file = "data4pcatxi.tsv", type="none", txOut = TRUE, 
+                 txIdCol = "Tx", geneIdCol = "Gene.Name",
+                 importer = read_tsv)

and got:

> 1 Parsed with column specification: cols(   Tx = col_character(),  
> Gene.Name = col_character(),   bone.marrow = col_double(),   colon =
> col_double(),   duodenum = col_double(),   esophagus = col_double(),  
> liver = col_double(),   lymph.node = col_double(),   rectum =

> small.intestine = col_double(),   spleen = col_double(),   stomach =

> col_double() ) Error in c(abundanceCol, countsCol, lengthCol) %in%
> names(raw) :    argument "abundanceCol" is missing, with no default

Can you help me with that?

The tximport function is for reading in per-sample transcript quantification files from various sources.

So all you have is a TPM matrix? Do you know the number of mapped reads per sample? Our approach requires at least those numbers in addition to the TPM matrix, and then the scaledTPM approach is to scale up the TPM to the range of counts by multiplying each sample (so each column) by (# mapped reads for this sample)/1e6.

Yes, I have a TPM matrix. It has 45946 rows but with NAs (empty cells replaced later by NAs). the data columns have different number of NAs. I can split the matrix into separate files but I do not know the number of mapped reads per sample. I have Summary of the expression results for this experiment ready to view in R (E-MTAB-2836-atlasExperimentSummary.Rdata) however do not know how to access the data after downloading to R with

expdata <- get(load('E-MTAB-2836-atlasExperimentSummary.Rdata'))

There is also some information that might be useful:

Analysis Methods Pipeline version: iRAP 0.5.1p1 Analyzed Libraries: Paired-end only Filtering Step 1: Discard reads below minimum quality threshold Filtering Step 2: Check of bacterial contamination; discard offending reads Filtering Step 3: Discard reads with common uncalled characters (e.g. N) Filtering Step 4: Remove reads from pair-end libraries that were orphaned by filtering steps 1-3 Read Mapping: Against genome reference (Ensembl release: 79) tophat2 version: 2.0.12 Quantification: htseq2 version: 0.6.1p1 Normalized Counts per Gene: (FPKMs) are calculated from the raw counts by iRAP. These are averaged for each set of technical replicates, and then quantile normalized within each set of biological replicates using limma. Finally, they are averaged for all biological replicates (if any)

It is possible to access more data (even fastq files), it looks like the TPM matrix contain averaged data in each column from several experiments (>8, sometimes even 16 Illumina runs/replicates) and each run has different number of Read Count and Base Count.

So you can skip the TPM matrix and just use the counts prepared for that dataset.

I downloaded that file, and then you can take a look:

> names(experimentSummary)
[1] "rnaseq"

So there is a thing called "rnaseq" that is in this experimentSummary object.

Next step would be to take a look inside:

> experimentSummary$rnaseq
class: RangedSummarizedExperiment
dim: 65217 200
metadata(4): pipeline filtering mapping quantification
assays(1): counts
rownames(65217): ENSG00000000003 ENSG00000000005 ... ENSG00000281921 ENSG00000281922
rowData names(0):
colnames(200): ERR315325 ERR315326 ... ERR579153 ERR579155
colData names(6): AtlasAssayGroup organism_part ... developmental_stage
  technical_replicate_group

If you look through this output, you can see that there is an assay called "counts".

Since it's the first assay, you can just call assay() after loading the SummarizedExperiment package.

Looks like counts to me:

> assay(experimentSummary$rnaseq)[1:5,1:5]

Dear Michael, that's much easier way! Thanks! It looks that I was unable to generate dds because I multiplied TPM matrix by 1e+6 what produced too much counts. Best regards, Marcin
