When accessing matrices on the RDS object

2nd (Invited Participants) Challenge

Hi
I already have this solution, but I thought I’d post it here for anyone with similar issues.
When you access the matrixes for the different assays in the RDS object, please be aware that the class of the colnames in the count matrices do not always match the class of the specimen ID columns in the metadata file. For e.g. in the raw counts matrix for gene expression the colnames are character while in the matadafile the specimens IDs are numeric.

Thanks

Hello Rashmi,

Thanks for pointing that out. The problem was caused by the type of values for column names in experimental data (which is character) and specimen column in metadata (which is numeric).
