Careful fellow travelers, I find that unlisting the GenomicRanges returned from a call to `transcriptsBy` returns a list with names that are gene names... only they are incorrect! Look: > txdb<-makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart(biomart="ensembl", dataset="dmelanogaster_gene_ensembl") ... > transcriptsBy(txdb,'gene')[2] GRangesList of length 1: $FBgn0000008 GRanges with 3 ranges and 2 elementMetadata cols: seqnames ranges strand | tx_id tx_name <rle> <iranges> <rle> | <integer> <character> [1] 2R [18024494, 18060339] + | 8616 FBtr0100521 [2] 2R [18024496, 18060346] + | 8615 FBtr0071763 [3] 2R [18024938, 18060346] + | 8617 FBtr0071764 ... > unlist(transcriptsBy(txdb,'gene')[2]) GRanges with 3 ranges and 2 elementMetadata cols: seqnames ranges strand | tx_id tx_name <rle> <iranges> <rle> | <integer> <character> FBgn0000008 2R [18024494, 18060339] + | 8616 FBtr0100521 FBgn00000081 2R [18024496, 18060346] + | 8615 FBtr0071763 FBgn00000082 2R [18024938, 18060346] + | 8617 FBtr0071764 ... Arguably, those names on the the GRanges should either all be the same, namely FBgn0000008, or they should not be returned. This 'bug' has been around for a some time. I meant to report it, and just tripped over it again. Can fix? Thanks!

Hmm, I was about to say "that's not the way it works in devel!!" but there you go. More generally, I wonder if this couldn't be fixed once and for all: Unlist can be maddening -- I would like to add a version (perhaps to BiocGenerics) that uses a .[1:length(x)] extension instead of the current default of pasting c('', 1:(length(x)-1)) to the name. Personally it seems like this would actually better overall as a default, even in base R. Perhaps I ought to bring up this notion? Any reason not to risk the ire of Professor Ripley again? Worst case, he points out why this is an idiotic idea and I learn something in the process. thanks, --t On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 6:35 AM, Martin Morgan <mtmorgan@fhcrc.org> wrote: > On 08/31/2012 10:07 PM, Cook, Malcolm wrote: > >> Careful fellow travelers, >> >> I find that unlisting the GenomicRanges returned from a call to >> `transcriptsBy` returns a list with names that are gene names... only they >> are incorrect! >> >> Look: >> >> txdb<-**makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart(**biomart="ensembl", >>> dataset="dmelanogaster_gene_**ensembl") >>> >> ... >> >>> transcriptsBy(txdb,'gene')[2] >>> >> GRangesList of length 1: >> $FBgn0000008 >> GRanges with 3 ranges and 2 elementMetadata cols: >> seqnames ranges strand | tx_id tx_name >> <rle> <iranges> <rle> | <integer> <character> >> [1] 2R [18024494, 18060339] + | 8616 FBtr0100521 >> [2] 2R [18024496, 18060346] + | 8615 FBtr0071763 >> [3] 2R [18024938, 18060346] + | 8617 FBtr0071764 >> ... >> >>> unlist(transcriptsBy(txdb,'**gene')[2]) >>> >> GRanges with 3 ranges and 2 elementMetadata cols: >> seqnames ranges strand | tx_id >> tx_name >> <rle> <iranges> <rle> | <integer> >> <character> >> FBgn0000008 2R [18024494, 18060339] + | 8616 >> FBtr0100521 >> FBgn00000081 2R [18024496, 18060346] + | 8615 >> FBtr0071763 >> FBgn00000082 2R [18024938, 18060346] + | 8617 >> FBtr0071764 >> ... >> >> >> Arguably, those names on the the GRanges should either all be the same, >> namely FBgn0000008, or they should not be returned. >> > > This is the way unlist works in base R > > > unlist(list(a=1:2)) > a1 a2 > 1 2 > > but the behavior has been changed in devel (to be release in early October) > > > unlist(GRangesList(A=GRanges("**a", IRanges(1:2, 10)))) > GRanges with 2 ranges and 0 metadata columns: > seqnames ranges strand > <rle> <iranges> <rle> > A a [1, 10] * > A a [2, 10] * > --- > seqlengths: > a > NA > > the work-around, as in base R, is to add use.names=FALSE to unlist > (perhaps adding a metadata column of rep(names(txdb), > elementLengths(txdb))). > > > This 'bug' has been around for a some time.

Perhaps I ought to bring up this notion? BiocGenerics tries not to mess with function signatures; it's used widely and so wants to play as nicely as possible with other packages.

Martin, Ah, so sorry. The BUG is in my understanding of base R. Thanks for your time to fix my thinking.
