Hello,

I am following the Differential analysis of count data – the DESeq2 package vignette which is great, however when I come to and can produce heatmaps, however when i try a PCA plot i get the following error.

plotPCA(rld, intgroup=c("LesionScore", "Treatment")

Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable) :
unable to find an inherited method for function ‘exprs’ for signature ‘"DESeqTransform"’

My data has been input as a matrix following the phyloseq DeSeq2 tutorial

I have found this link where someone has the same problem, however I tried the suggested fix and this didnt work for me

http://seqanswers.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-28350.html

I have been using a mixture of install.packages() and biocLite(), do I need to go through and install all packages using bioLite()?

Cheers,

Sarah

You can check your installation by doing

library(BiocInstaller)

biocValid()

And following the instructions that pop up.

I'd guess that you have another package loaded which is masking plotPCA, by not using the generic in BiocGenerics. There are a set of packages that "play by the rules" allowing for proper dispatch, but others may mask it. The user can get around this in the end by using DESeq2::plotPCA.

Hi Michael,

Yes this seemed to be the problem, loaded a new session with only the packages I needed and this worked.

Thanks everyone.

Ha! it seems Jim is the offender!

I wouldn't have written the comment above in such a pedantic way if I knew it was you :)

Urgh. Is this the part where I wave my cane and tell you damn kids to get off my lawn?

I'll change my version of the function to S4 to lower my OQ (offender quotient) to a lower but probably still offensive level. ;-D

So one of the reasons I never converted plotPCA in affycoretools to S4 was because I felt I would be hijacking the method for ExpressionSets. I'm not sure what happens if two packages get loaded with the same methods dispatching on the same signature, but I've made the changes so DESeq2 and affycoretools no longer clash.
