Hi everyone!
I am running DESeq2 on two tabular files that were generated from Cufflinks. I keep getting the following error:
Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, :
duplicate ‘row.names’ are not allowed
Calls: get_deseq_dataset … lapply -> lapply -> FUN -> read.delim -> read.table
However, I triple checked my row names (which are gene names) and removed all duplicates and continue to get this error.
Anyone have experience on this? Thank you!!
Hello @mlim
This particular error is probably because the inputs have a header line but that option isn’t checked on the tool form.
But even with that fixed, you’ll still have problems. DESeq2 is not designed to work with Cufflinks results.
