Hi everyone, 

I am trying out the Beta version of PTM-SEA (Windows) using the provided data and database and default settings. I am getting the following error message in stderr.txt (Gene Pattern job 42798):


Error in ssGSEA2(input.ds = opt$input.ds, output.prefix = opt$output.prefix,  : 
  object 'm' not found
Execution halted

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

From the GitHub site at https://github.com/broadinstitute/ssGSEA2.0, using the "Single site-centric phosphoproteome dataset" (PI3K_pert_logP_n2x23936.gct) as "input data" and "PTMsigDB" (ptm.sig.db.all.flanking.human.v1.8.1.gmt) as the "pathway db" should work without any error (see attached screenshot). If some other dataset was being used, please let us know and we can try to debug the issue. 

We are still working on improving error reporting, but the "object 'm' not found" error is an indicator of incorrect input data format.

Hi,

I am able to get it working with the downloaded data, but get the object 'm' not found when using my dataset (attached).

Hello,

The error was due to incorrect formatting of the input dataset -- the file contains blank columns (see screen shot). An easy way to correctly format gct files is to use Morpheus (https://software.broadinstitute.org/morpheus/). 

The corrected input dataset is attached.
