featurecounts output changes the underscores in the sample name into dots

[Dapeng Wang]

Hi there,

In the latest version Rsubread package, I run the featurecounts analysis on a few samples but the output has changed the underscores in the sample names into dots, which is very inconvenient.

For example,

the original bam file name: sample_1.bam

the new sample name: sample.1.bam

Is there any way to avoid this conversion?

Many thanks,

Tom

I agree that the underscores should be kept unchanged in the returned object from featureCounts. We are discussing the possible solutions and hopefully the next release will include the change.
