Hi all- having an issue getting the sleuth object set:

Upload metadata

metadata <- read.delim("/dcl02/leased/giffin/SINV_RNAseq/fastq/metadata.txt")
#metadata <- read.table(dcl02/leased/giffin/SINV_RNAseq/fastq/'metadata.txt', sep='\t', header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
metadata <- dplyr::select(metadata, c('SampleName', 'Time', 'Condition', 'Replicate'))

#rename SampleName to sample
metadata <- dplyr::rename(metadata, sample = SampleName)
head(metadata)

#set path to kallisto outputs
metadata <- dplyr::mutate(metadata,
path = file.path('.', 'trim', 'trimmed', 'kallisto_out', sample, 'abundance.h5'))

Associating transcripts to genes

mart <- useMart(biomart = "ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL",
dataset = "rnorvegicus_gene_ensembl",
host = "dec2015.archive.ensembl.org")
ttg <- getBM(
attributes = c("ensembl_transcript_id", "transcript_version",
"ensembl_gene_id", "external_gene_name", "description",
"transcript_biotype"),
mart = mart)
ttg <- dplyr::rename(ttg, target_id = ensembl_transcript_id,
ens_gene = ensembl_gene_id, ext_gene = external_gene_name)
ttg <- dplyr::select(ttg, c('target_id', 'ens_gene', 'ext_gene'))
head(ttg)

#create sleuth object
so <- sleuth_prep(metadata, target_mapping = ttg,
aggregation_column = 'ens_gene', extra_bootstrap_summary = TRUE)
dropping unused factor levels

Thanks in advance!
