Creation of cellDataSet in Monocle 2 wants undocumented AnnotatedDataFrame: assayData

Question

[mk]

As directed in the Monocle 2 Documentation, the cellDataSet constructor is called on a sparse matrix and two AnnotatedDataFrames. Here is the suggested usage:

pd <- new("AnnotatedDataFrame", data = sample_sheet)
fd <- new("AnnotatedDataFrame", data = gene_annotation)
cds <- newCellDataSet(expr_matrix, phenoData = pd, featureData = fd)

Below, I show the matrix I am working with and the two AnnotatedDataFrames. When I attempt to create the new CellDataSet, I get an error that refers to the assayData parameter of CellDataSet's parent class, ExpressionSet. However, as far as I can tell, the assayData parameter (which is of type AnnotatedDataFrame) is replaced by a sparse matrix in Monocle 2's CellDataSet, so this error is cryptic.

Answer 1

turned out that fd was prepared based on a bad matrix. Issue resolved!
