Error in -delete: invalid argument to unary operator

Question

[ovariohisterectomia]

hello and thank you in advance, to be brief, im doing a DE analysis in R, and first i want to delete the rows with 0 or N/A values. So im performing my script but at the end it sends me an error...here we go:

countData <- read.table("countData.txt", header = TRUE, dec = ".", sep = "\t", row.names = "GeneID")
colData <- read.table("colData.txt", header = TRUE, sep = "\t")
head(colData)

dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = countData,
                              colData = colData,
                              design = ~treatment)

dds <- estimateSizeFactors(dds)
idx <- rowSums( counts(dds, normalized=TRUE) >= 2 ) >= 8 
dds <- dds[idx,]

dds <- DESeq(dds)
dds

normalized_counts <- counts(dds, normalized=TRUE)
View(normalized_counts)
write.table(as.data.frame(normalized_counts), file = "Count_DEseqNormCount.txt", sep = "\t", dec = ".")

y <- read.table("Count_DEseqNormCount.txt", dec = ".", sep = "\t", header = TRUE, row.names = 1)
names(y)
delete <- NULL


for (row in 1:nrow(y)) {

  flag1 <- FALSE
  flag2 <- FALSE


  if((y[row,1] == 0 && y[row,2] == 0 && y[row,3] == 0 && y[row,4] == 0 && y[row,5] == 0 && y[row,6] == 0) || (y[row,1] >= 1 && y[row,2] >= 1 && y[row,3] >= 1 && y[row,4] >= 1 && y[row,5] >= 1 && y[row,6] >= 1)) {
    flag1 <- TRUE
  } 
  if((y[row,7] == 0 && y[row,8] == 0 && y[row,9] == 0 && y[row,10] == 0 && y[row,11] == 0 && y[row,12] == 0) || (y[row,7] >= 1 && y[row,8] >= 1 && y[row,9] >= 1 && y[row,10] >= 1 && y[row,11] >= 1 && y[row,12] >= 1)) {
    flag2 <- TRUE
  } 

  if (flag1 == FALSE || flag2 == FALSE){
    delete <-c(delete, row)
  }
}

Until here, everything goes OK, but when i type this

y <- y[-delete,]

it says

Error in -delete : argumento no válido para un operador unitario

watching for a translation i think the error is this

Error in -delete : invalid argument to unary operator*

Would be very happy if you could help me, im really new in R and RNASeq. Thank you so much

What is the content of delete? Are you sure you want && instead of &? What is this filtering going to do, I am sure there is a shorter way of expressing this query.

As suggested there are better ways of "filtering", reconsider using &, | instead of &&, I, read about rowSums, colSums.

If you are trying to negate, TRUE to FALSE, FALSE to TRUE, then we need: y <- y[ !delete, ]
