Hi Michael,

I am getting the same error with the DESeqDataSet I have prepared directly
from the HTSeq counts:
ddsHTSeq <- DESeqDataSetFromHTSeqCount(sampleTable = sampleTable,
                                       directory   = "/",
                                       design      = ~ condition)

The failing routine is called collapseReplicates:
ddsHTSeq <- collapseReplicates(ddsHTSeq,
                               groupby=ddsHTSeq$repSet, run=ddsHTSeq$repSet)

Error in normalizeSingleBracketSubscript(i, x, byrow = TRUE, exact = FALSE) : 
  subscript contains NAs or out of bounds indices
 Calls: main ... extractROWS -> extractROWS -> normalizeSingleBracketSubscript

It seems that everything else is still working if I comment this
collapseReplicates() call out. How can I fix ddsHTSeq so that
collapseReplicates() would accept it or could you think of any other
workarounds, which I could use to deal with my technical replicates?
