readNanoStringRccSet does not accept non-unique values phenoDataRccColName

Question

[sangeetashukla]

Hi,

I am working on NanoString nCounter assay data, and want to read in RCC data and phenoDataFile using readNanoStringRccSet. However, when I specify a value for phenoDataRccColName as the column_name from the phenoDataFile, the reading fails, with the error:

Error in `.rowNamesDF<-`(x, value = value) :
    duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed
In addition:
Warning message: non-unique values when setting 'row.names':

This took me to the below code in this link

rownames(pheno) <- pheno[[j]]
        pheno[[j]] <- NULL

However, one would expect that the values in the phenoDataRccColName would be repetitive to allow for grouping of the samples.

What is a work-around for this? Can the package be fixed in a future update? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

Were you able to find a work-around for this problem? Very few resources online about encountering this issue.

Thanks!
