Error in file(file, "rt") : invalid 'description' argument

Hi, Please advise me to fix the following error while running the R script using ballgown for DGE analysis.

getwd()
[1] "/fast/users/a123456/prrdata"
pheno_data <- read.csv("pardge_phenotype.csv")
bg_par <- ballgown(dataDir = "prrdata", samplePattern = "sample", pData = pheno_data)

rna-seq r ballgown

Dear Amy,

I don't have a lot of experience with ballgown, but I think you need to run the script from the parent directory "/fast/users/a123456", while your data files must be in prrdata.

Thanks .... It worked!!!!
