[R] makeGRangesFromDataFrame errors that metadata columns (in dframe) has reserved words. this is not the case
Hello Biostars,
converting dataframe to Granges object using GenomicRanges::makeGRangesFromDataFrame but keeeps failing due to presumably reserved names in metadata column
but my metadata columns do not contain these
"seqnames", "ranges", "strand", "seqlevels", "seqlengths", "isCircular", "start", "end", "width"
any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Thanks @Kevin Blighe,
it turns out the 'strand' column was the source of error. i think because of ignore.strand=TRUE flag in GenomicRanges::makeGRangesFromDataFrame
set ignore.strand=TRUE inistially because GenomicRanges::makeGRangesFromDataFrame wasn't recognizing values in strand column
quick fix was;
makeGRangesFromDataFrame(df = merged.biomart.hg19.cna,
keep.extra.columns = TRUE, ignore.strand = FALSE)
or
merged.biomart.hg19.cna <- merged.biomart.hg19.cna[-4]
makeGRangesFromDataFrame(df = merged.biomart.hg19.cna,
keep.extra.columns = TRUE, ignore.strand = TRUE)
thanks S

Hey, what is the output of
?
please ignore the lots NA; what we see are pseudogenes
I see - thanks ekwame. The column names should already be okay, so, you should not have to specify them.
I wonder could you simply try:
