error in evaluating the argument 'subject' in selecting a method for function 'findOverlaps': 'seqnames' cannot contain NAs

[yulijia]

Hi,

I ran Numbat with WGS CNV as input; however, it always returns the error message 'seqnames' cannot contain NAs.

I don't have any NAs in count_mat_ATC2, df_allele_ATC2, or the segs_consensus file.

Can somebody help me fix this problem?

  out = run_numbat(
    count_mat_ATC2 # gene x cell integer UMI count matrix
    ref_hca, # reference expression profile, a gene x cell type normalized expression level matrix
    df_allele_ATC2, # allele dataframe generated by pileup_and_phase script
    genome = "hg38",
    t = 1e-5,
    ncores = 24,
    plot = TRUE,
    segs_consensus_fix=segs_consensus,
    out_dir = paste0('../out/numbat_with_segs/',scid)
  )

Can you print out segs_consensus?

[yulijia]

Sure, the data frame is

Hi, do you only expect aberration on chr1? Why not include all chromosomes?

[yulijia]

Hi @teng-gao ,

This is only a small portion of my entire file. The dataset is in-house patient data, which I cannot expose to the public. Do you need the entire file? If yes, please let me know, and I will attempt to obtain permission to share it with you.

Hey @yulijia as per the documentation of Numbat found here: Using existing CNV calls Sometimes users already have CNV calls from bulk WGS, WES, or array analysis. In this case, you can supply the existing CNV profile via segs_consensus_fix parameter to fix the CNV boundaries and states. To do so, you may provide a dataframe with the following columns:

CHROM: integer; chromosome (1-22) seg: character; segment ID (e.g. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, etc.) seg_start: integer; segment start position seg_end: integer; segment end position cnv_state: character; copy number state (neu, del, amp, loh, bamp, bdel) Please note that diploid segments (cnv_state = "neu") should also be included (i.e. segs_consensus_fix should be a complete copy number profile including all chromosomes).

CHROM needs to be an integer. You have a character in that col. Maybe try changing that?
