Hello everyone,

I'm getting an error while using scran's quickCluster in R v4.0 that worked fine with previous R versions (example data from https://osca.bioconductor.org/normalization.html#normalization-by-deconvolution):

> library(scran)
> set.seed(100)
> clust.zeisel <- quickCluster(sce.zeisel) 
Error in if (any(above.noise)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't know. This works fine for me:

#--- loading ---#
library(scRNAseq)
sce.zeisel <- ZeiselBrainData()

library(scater)
sce.zeisel <- aggregateAcrossFeatures(sce.zeisel, 
    id=sub("_loc[0-9]+$", "", rownames(sce.zeisel)))

#--- gene-annotation ---#
library(org.Mm.eg.db)
rowData(sce.zeisel)$Ensembl <- mapIds(org.Mm.eg.db, 
    keys=rownames(sce.zeisel), keytype="SYMBOL", column="ENSEMBL")

#--- quality-control ---#
stats <- perCellQCMetrics(sce.zeisel, subsets=list(
    Mt=rowData(sce.zeisel)$featureType=="mito"))
qc <- quickPerCellQC(stats, percent_subsets=c("altexps_ERCC_percent", 
    "subsets_Mt_percent"))
sce.zeisel <- sce.zeisel[,!qc$discard]

library(scran)
set.seed(100)

Thanks Aaron,

I'm trying to understand what's the problem here. I've noticed that when I'm running R with 1 or 2 available cores, the command ends without errors. When I'm working with 3 o 4 cores, I get a warning:

> clust.zeisel <- quickCluster(sce.zeisel) 
Warning message:
In (function (to_check, X, clust_centers, clust_info, dtype, nn,  :
  detected tied distances to neighbors, see ?'BiocNeighbors-ties'
> table(clust.zeisel)
clust.zeisel
  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12  13  14  15 
178 268 168 193 163 220 227 196 234 191 205 119 193 172 210

If there're more than 4 cores, I get the error:

> table(clust.zeisel)
Error in eval(quote(list(...)), env) : object 'clust.zeisel' not found

Does anyone have an explanation?

Many thanks!

It shouldn't matter how many cores you have, because:

  • you haven't told quickCluster to parallelize itself via BPPARAM=.
  • there shouldn't be any accidental parallelization either, I am quite sure about that.
  • and even if there was, all of my functions guarantee that you get the same result regardless of what parallelization scheme you're using; you shouldn't see differences in behavior.

Rather, I would suspect that your non-standard openBLAS is responding to the differences in the number of cores (you're probably on a cluster?) and this is causing errors during matrix multiplication in the IRLBA step. This kind of issue is not as uncommon as one might expect, see here.

You can check whether or not this is the case by running the above code on any other machine.

Hi Aaron,

Yes, I'm working on a cluster, and there was something wrong with the installation within some old machines. Reinstalling it and working with newer machines solved our problem (I don't have more information, sorry).

Thanks for your time!
