Error in dimnamesGets(x, value) when trying to read data using Seurat package

Question

This question has also been asked on Biostars

I am trying to create a Seurat object using the package "Seurat". When I am reading my raw files using the function Read10X, I am getting this error

Error in dimnamesGets(x, value) : length of Dimnames[[1]] (45948) is not equal to Dim[1] (45947).

I am unsure how to resolve this issue.

Answer 1

Check the length of your files. The error clearly says that there is a difference in the length of your files. Your file length should be equal.

I think the problem may be the presence of a header in one of your files. Removing the header may solve the problem.

Answer 2

There is a mismatch of 1 line between the several files, suggesting that probably either the barcodes of features file has a header line which is not standard. Remove any header lines from these files.
