edgeR error for paired differential expression analysis

Seems I have found the problem. Despite Galaxy saying “NOTE: Please only use letters, numbers or underscores” when inputing factors manually, it seems you can’t use numbers for Groups when you use a factor file instead of manual input.

Indeed, when I changed my file to the following, it worked. I added an X in front of the Patient numbers.

Sample Tissue Patient
M1 M X1
M4 M X4
M7 M X7
M10 M X10
M13 M X13
N1 N X1
N4 N X4
N7 N X7
N10 N X10
N13 N X13
