Hi,
If I want to bind two GRanges object with a matrix in the meta columns,
the concatenation of the two fails in bioc-stable (GenomicRanges 1.16.3)
and bioc-devel (GenomicRanges 1.17.13) with:
'''
Error in validObject(.Object) :
invalid class “GRanges” object: number of rows in DataTable
'mcols(x)' must match length of 'x'
'''
If multiple columns are used, the class of of the first column seem to
determine the behavior:
#+BEGIN_SRC R
library(GenomicRanges)
## sample data, two identical GRanges
gr1 = gr2 = GRanges(1, IRanges(1:2, width = 1))
m = matrix(1:4, 2)
## the vector alone works
mcols(gr1) = mcols(gr2) = DataFrame(x = 1)
c(gr1, gr2) ## works
## vector first, matrix second works
mcols(gr1) = mcols(gr2) = DataFrame(x = 1, m = I(m))
c(gr1, gr2) ## works
## the matrix alone fails
mcols(gr1) = mcols(gr2) = DataFrame(m = I(m))
c(gr1, gr2) ## fails
## matrix first, vector second fails
mcols(gr1) = mcols(gr2) = DataFrame(m = I(m), x = 1)
c(gr1, gr2) ## fails
#+END_SRC
Best wishes
Julian
