Hi all

I am doing some RNA seq analysis with DESeq. I have applied the nbinomTest to my dataset which I know have many differentially expressed genes but the first problem is that the result values for "padj"column is almost NA and sometimes 1. and when I want to have a splice from my fata frame the result is not meaningful for me.

 -- output of sessionInfo(): 

res <- nbinomTest(cds, "Male", "Female")

NA.5 <NA>       NA        NA        NA         NA             NA   NA   NA

my first question is that why although I know there are some differentially expressed genes in the my data, all the padj values are NA or 1 and the second question is this "NA.1" , "NA.2", ..... which are emerged as the first column of object "res1"instead of name of genes 

Thank you so much 
Regards
