I am trying to analyze data that has three different timepoints (0, 6, and 12 hr) and two conditions (treated and control), but every attempt I make to carry this out with DESeq2 is met with error.

The latest is below, which is an attempt I made using this brief tutorial

counts<-read.csv("E:/Mac_data/macs_counts_11_3_21.csv", header=TRUE)
head(counts)

Error in DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(countData = counts, colData = coldata,  : 
  ncol(countData) == nrow(colData) is not TRUE

I would appreciate any help. I understand WHAT the error message is saying, but I don't know how to fix it.

Additionally, if there is a better way to handle this kind of data I would also appreciate feedback in that regard. I'm here to learn!

Look at your data. What is dim(counts)? And why?

I strongly recommend that you put down your own data and go through some sample data from the vignette or a tutorial before you try to analyze your own data. After you've done that, you can do your data side by side, so you can catch when your data isn't looking like it should.

fair enough. do you think this is a good place to start?

Sure. That one can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning, just note that it goes over a lot of different ways to import data; you'll only need one such method at a time.

I figured it out :) Ty for reminding me to slow down and start with the basics instead of jumping right in with my own data

Hi,

In your case that error message is due to the colnames(counts) do not match, in number or names, the rownames(coldata). For this, I highly recommend you to inspect the number and order of your rownames in the coldata object and verify whether it is the same in the colnames of your counts. If not, use a text plain editor (if you are not familiar with R) to match them and make sure that you have the same number of samples in both objects.

Best regards,

Well, I had the same problem a few months ago and found this tutorial. It solved everything;
