I am using GSEA to do some data analysis (online version GenePattern) and I have been constantly stuck at this Empty gene line: <!DOCTYPE html> at row: 0 error message. What does this actually mean? The GCT file, CLS file, geneset database gmt file (I'm using BTM) are all uploaded. Hence I am not sure what has gone wrong.
This is the snippet of the GCT file:
#1.2
22479 3
Gene Gene Title d1_fc d3_fc d7_fc
IGHM NA 1.15955 1.10151 3.06971
This is the CLS file format:
#numeric
#timepoint
1 3 7
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
