Seurat not creating nCount_RNA and nFeature_RNA

Question

[Nicholas]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on downstream analysis of single-cell RNA-Seq data, and I'm encountering an issue where the RStudio instance on my server is not properly creating the Seurat object with the nCount_RNA and nFeature_RNA columns, and only creating the object with orig.ident . This problem is not happening on my RStudio instance on my personal laptop, and when comparing the installed packages, they're identical. If anyone has encountered this issue and found a solution I'd greatly appreciate it. The following code is identical on both the server and laptop. The files are identical as well, with the files on my laptop being downloaded from the Linux server. Both instances have Seurat == 5.1.0.

library(Seurat)
library(celldex)
library(SingleR)
library(magrittr)
library(dplyr)

solote_matrix <- ReadMtx("matrix.mtx","barcodes.tsv","features.tsv", feature.column=1)
solote_seuratobj <- CreateSeuratObject(count=solote_matrix, min.cells=3, project="SoloTE")
