In case you have provided multiple variables e.g. sample groups + some covariates, then at least 2 of those variables must be linear combinations of each other, i.e. one variable can be derived from the other one. So, deseq2 will throw an error in such cases. To troubleshoot, I would first use no covariates, then add them one by one and see which one clashes with the other variables.
I don't think it is a software issue, it must be because of the list of provided covariates.
Likely I removed samples and variations to covariates with them. I agree that it is not a software error, I only perceived it as an inconvenience that I do not have access to the covariate matrix and the error message is a bit, well, short.
In some deeper theory this could be checked early during the sanity checks. Just maybe leave a comment if you would want to accept a pull request towards that direction and someone likely would come up with something.
Yes, sure, I would be open to a PR as long as the check is identical to what deseq2 does. Probably it should be possible to use the checkFullRank()
function without a count matrix at the beginning of the pipeline run.
Hello,
I was just rerunning some older analyses with a different sample sheet, but same sequences, so the reports should be newly generated. The following error surfaced:
My hunch is that the sample sheet has issues. And any patches for more insights should likely go to the DESeq2 package. Anyway, if you have ideas - just maybe discuss them here.
Many thanks!
