Description

There were 3 or 4 participants who encountered this problem at March 2021 workshops.

They had a tibble and tried to turn it into a DESeqDataSet. The error returned is something about row.names() but an as.data.frame() solves the problem. Idk that this requires a change in instruction but it was a common problem so I figured we should have it written down.

Research direction

Search the workshop modules for the instructions covering DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(), then reproduce the reported error with a tibble and compare it with the as.data.frame() workaround. Done means documenting the tibble-related row.names() problem and the conversion needed to create a DESeqDataSet.
