Dear Peter (or Shan Gao),
Short answer:
You are using an old version of edgeR. You need to either install the
current version of edgeR from Bioconductor or, with the version you
have,
you can use
write.table(result$table, etc)
instead of write.table(result, etc).
Longer answer:
This is not an edgeR bug. The topTags results object has been
produced
correctly. However, when you try to write it to a file using
write.table(), you are trying to treat the results object as a
data.frame,
which it is not. Hence the error message.
In the version of edgeR in the most recent Bioconductor release we
added a
method for coercing TopTags objects to data.frames, to allow people to
do
exactly what you're doing.
Please have a look at the posting guide:
http://www.bioconductor.org/help/mailing-list/posting-guide/
It is a good idea to include output from sessionInfo() in any post.
Best wishes
Gordon
