How to create a Seurat Object from GSE data set?
Olivia Zamora 
I know that we can create Seurat object from cell ranger output files(barcode, features, matrix). But I have a GSE single cell data set in csv format. How do I create a Seurat object out of that?
Thanks.
a = read.csv(<csv file >, header = TRUE)
b = t(a)
c = CreateSeuratObject(counts = b, project = "my_single_cell", min.cells = 3, min.features = 200)
Error in CreateAssayObject(counts = counts, min.cells = min.cells, min.features = min.features, :
No cell names (colnames) names present in the input matrix
dput(a[1:10, 1:10])

The original table seems to have cells on rows and genes in columns, with the cell names in the first column. To get correct rownames, try this:
a = read.csv(data.csv, row.names = 1)
b = t(a)
c = CreateSeuratObject(counts = b, project = "my_single_cell", min.cells = 3, min.features = 200)Edit: The table seems to contain normalized expression values instead of raw counts. Seurat may not be the right tool for working with that kind of data.
