Hello,

I recently updated to the latest version of DESeq2. When I try to run the exact same script that I had used in the previous version of DESeq2 the dds<-DESeq(dds) command gives me the following error:

Error in averagePriorsOverLevels(objectNZ, betaPriorVar) :
beta prior for Subject.T.1.,Condition.T.Control. is not greater than 0

This is my sessionInfo:

I'm also encountering the error:

Error in averagePriorsOverLevels(objectNZ, betaPriorVar) :

This occurs for DESeq2 versions 1.8.1 and 1.10.1.

Hi Gregory, Can you try running without the beta prior? DESeq(dds, betaPrior=FALSE). This is a perfectly valid analysis, giving more standard LFCs as one would get from DESeq or other methods. You have many covariates in the design formula, and I'd guess the correlation of some of these causes some problem for the prior estimation.

I can't really diagnose without also seeing more of the code you used here. And what is the colData(dds) look like? Note that we changed the DESeq2 approach to interaction terms, they now do not use a prior. You may have to rebuild the 'dds' object using the latest version of DESeq2 to continue.

Ok, here is the code I used until the error:

library("DESeq2")
library("edgeR")
samples = read.csv("samples.csv",header=TRUE)
samples$countf = paste(samples$LibraryName, "count", sep=".")
counts = readDGE(samples$countf)$counts
countData<-counts
coldata=with(samples, data.frame(LibraryName=I(LibraryName), Subject=Subject, Condition=Condition, Replicate=Replicate))
coldata$Subject<-factor(coldata$Subject)
coldata$Replicate<-factor(coldata$Replicate)

#Simple model
dds<-DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData=countData, colData=coldata, design=~Subject+Condition)

#relevel samples
dds$Condition<-relevel(dds$Condition, "Control")

#collapse technical replicates
ddscollapsed <- collapseReplicates ( dds, groupby = dds$Replicate, renameCols = TRUE)
dds<-ddscollapsed

#test for DE genes
dds<-DESeq(dds)
resultsNames(dds)
