I am trying to add genes ID to edgeR results . Below is part of my code. Gene Ids usually comes as NA. I would like to know what could be wrong or how can I add the genes ID. All what I have is transcripts ID, so not sure if the problem is the geneid line, and how to fix? Thanks

data <- readDGE(files)
geneid <-rownames(data)
mart <- useMart("ensembl", dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl", host="grch37.ensembl.org", path="/biomart/martservice")
datasets <- listDatasets(mart)
mart <- useDataset("hsapiens_gene_ensembl",mart)
genes <- getBM(attributes=c('ensembl_gene_id', 'external_gene_name'),filters='ensembl_gene_id',values=geneid,mart=mart)
rownames (genes) <- genes$ensembl_gene_id
data$genes <- genes [rownames(data), ]

print (data$genes)

group <- c(rep("WT", 2), rep("Tumor", 2))
dge = DGEList(counts=data, group=group)

dge <- calcNormFactors(dge)
dge <- estimateCommonDisp(dge)
dge <- estimateTagwiseDisp(dge)

Show us a few of your input gene IDs. Specifically, we need the ones getting associated with NA.

Everything is NA. This is when I print data (genes). I think the problem is how to connect between transcripts and genes? I think one step is missing but don't know what it is.

NA.49969 NA NA

I don't care what data$genes looks like, you need to post what geneid looks like.

It contains the transcripts ID, which I think is the main reason for the error. So I am missing how to go from transcripts ID to genes ID? [58349] "NR_144568.1" "NR_144569.1" "NR_144628.1" "NR_144629.1"

You're searching against biomarts collection of ensembl-gene ids using NCBI transcript IDs as input. Hence the NAs.
