Hi,

I am trying to get bulkseq data ready for DESeq2 to analyze my data. Below I outlined my steps, but I created an index for salmon from the latest zebrafish transcriptome, did my quantifications with salmon using that index, then tried to use tximeta to get it ready for DESeq2 analysis, where I then run into issues. Any help is appreciated.

salmon index -t Danio_rerio.GRCz11.cdna.all.fa.gz -i danio_rerio_index

I then ran the salmon quantification on my thirteen samples using a poorly made batch script...

cd FishOnlySeq

for fn in *.gz;
do
samp=`basename ${fn}`
echo "Processing sample${samp}"
salmon quant -i danio_rerio_index \
  -l A \
  -r ${fn} \
  --threads 12 \
  --validateMappings --rangeFactorizationBins 4 \
  --seqBias \
  -o quants/${samp}_quant 
done

Since it's zebrafish I needed to makeLinkedTxome...

index_dir <- file.path("danio_rerio_index")
fasta_url <- "http://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-104/fasta/danio_rerio/cdna/Danio_rerio.GRCz11.cdna.all.fa.gz"
gtf_url <- "http://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-104/gtf/danio_rerio/Danio_rerio.GRCz11.104.gtf.gz"

makeLinkedTxome(indexDir = index_dir,
                source = "Ensembl",
                organism = "Danio rerio",
                release = "104",
                genome = "GRCz11",
                fasta = fasta_url,
                gtf = gtf_url)

I needed to make the coldata for tximeta to act on...

file_path=file.path("quants")

sf_files <- list.files(file_path, recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE, pattern = "quant.sf")

sample_names <- stringr::word(sf_files, -2, sep ="/")

coldata <- data.frame(files = sf_files,
                      names = sample_names)

This looked like it all worked, but here's the last bit of input and the error messages...

I found on http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/DESeq2/inst/doc/DESeq2.html#transcript-abundance-files-and-tximport-tximeta that you should be able to feed tximeta into DESeq2 but that failed as well

using counts and average transcript lengths from tximeta
Error in DESeqDataSet(txi_data, design = ~condition) :

So where about am I going wrong? I appreciate any help.

The first error may be an ensembldb issue, as I think tx_id should be present in the EnsDb.

Let me see what I get on my end, and then I can ping Johannes to see his thoughts if I can't figure it out.

The second error states "all variables in design formula must be columns in colData". So see the line where you define coldata? It doesn't have any condition information. That is where you should provide it.

Could you try this again, but after clearing the EnsDb entry from your BiocFileCache? I think what happened is that you parsed the GTF in the in-between period between release and when Johannes made this change to code: ensembldb support for Ensembl's transcript_name column

To clear a BFC entry do this:

library(BiocFileCache)
bfc <- BiocFileCache()
bfcinfo(bfc) # see the entries -- find the one above
bfcremove(bfc, "BFC123") # remove the entry to force re-parsing

If that doesn't work, could you email me one or two quantification directories in a tar or zip? To maintainer("DESeq2"). On my end, using the latest release, I have tx_id in the columns of the EnsDb.

I think it won't help even to clear the cache. I've reported this upstream issue here -- ensembldb support for Ensembl's transcript_name column

In the mean time, I think you may actually get around this error by not using the word "Ensembl" for the source. Try "LocalEnsembl". This will avoid using the ones on AnnotationHub, and that may clear up the issue.

Hey Michael,

Really appreciate your reply! I decided to get around this by going with tximport instead. If I do revisit the analysis and attempt to use the tximeta I'll try the fixes you've mentioned. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, and your continued support for this bioconductor package is much appreciated.

No worries. tximport works :)

BTW ensembldb is now updated, if you were to re-install it will give you v2.18.2 and users have reported all issues cleared up. So you don't need to rename the source anymore.
