Hi list!
Hope someone can help me on this as i've been stuck for a solid couple of days, i've read other posts without finding my issue. I want to perform an enrichment analysis of a list of genes i found from a microarray experiment. The topGOdata object seems to be generated without errors but then i cant perform Fisher test on it.I pasted everything from the very start sorry for that but maybe i did something wrong..

x<-hugene11sttranscriptclusterENTREZID
probekeys<-Lkeys(x)# gene universe (probeset IDs)
x<-hugene11sttranscriptclusterGO
mappedGO<-mappedkeys(x)
probe2GO<-as.list(x[mappedGO]) # list of probe2GO
geneList<-factor(as.integer(probekeys %in% intgenes) # intgenes= my list of interesting probeIDs
names(geneList)<-probekeys
str(geneList)
Factor w/ 2 levels "0","1": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
 - attr(*, "names")= chr [1:33295] "7892501" "7892502" "7892503" "7892504" ...
GOdata<-new("topGOdata", ontology="BP", allGenes= geneList, annot = annFUN.gene2GO, gene2GO=probe2GO)
GOdata
------------------------- topGOdata object -------------------------

 Description:
   -   

 Ontology:
   -  BP 

 33295 available genes (all genes from the array):
   - symbol:  7892501 7892502 7892503 7892504 7892505  ...
   - 898  significant genes. 

 11077 feasible genes (genes that can be used in the analysis):
   - symbol:  7896740 7896754 7896779 7896822 7896921  ...
   - 530  significant genes. 

 GO graph (nodes with at least  1  genes):
   - a graph with directed edges
   - number of nodes = 10376 
   - number of edges = 22233 

------------------------- topGOdata object -------------------------
test.stat <- new("classicCount", testStatistic = GOFisherTest, name = "Fisher test")
resultFisher <- getSigGroups(GOdata, test.stat)
			 -- Classic Algorithm -- 

		 the algorithm is scoring 2569 nontrivial nodes
		 parameters: 
			 test statistic:  Fisher test 
Error in fisher.test(contMat, alternative = "greater") : 
  all entries of 'x' must be nonnegative and finite

This is the error a get...and i dont know what it means. Any help would me much appreciated, sorry if i've been too long!

Many thanks!

Bruno
