Help with Volcano Plotting

[ABC86]

Hi everyone!

I am very new to R, and was trying to figure out a way to produce a volcano plot from my data. I was trying to follow the tutorial:

19.11 Volcano plots | Introduction to R

But with my own data. However, I get a couple of errors...

Here is my code:

#edgeR analysis

library(limma)
library(edgeR)
library(readxl) 
library(dplyr) 
library(ggrepel) # Volcano plot
library(ggplot2) # GO Term plot

# Importing the excel data file containing two healthy datasets to compare
group <- factor(c(rep('HD1', 10), rep('HD2', 10)))

my_data <- read_xlsx('HD1vsHD2.xlsx') %>%
  {
    DGEList(counts = C[,c(3:31)], 
            genes = C[, c('GeneID', 'Length')], group = group)
  }

# Volcano Plot
pvalue <- 0.05

ggplot(data=my_data, aes(x=log2FoldChange, 
                       y=-log10(pvalue), 
                       col=diffexpressed, label=delabel)) +
  geom_point() + 
  theme_minimal() +
  geom_text_repel() +
  scale_color_manual(values=c("blue", "black", "red")) +
  geom_vline(xintercept=c(-0.6, 0.6), col="red") +
  geom_hline(yintercept=-log10(0.05), col="red")

I keep getting:
Error in C[, c(3:28)] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable
and
Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : object 'log2FoldChange' not found

I'm not entirely sure what to do to define the log2FoldChange

My (excel) data is comprised of RNA gene sequences and the counted lengths in patients:

There are 31 samples total, vertically. I am comparing the first 21 columns vs the last 10 columns of the data in an excel file. I am essentially trying to observe differentiated genes using a volcano plot, but I can't get the syntax to work.

Any help?

Thank you!!

I keep getting:
Error in C[, c(3:28)] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

this is because your code was written :

GEList(counts = C[,c(3:31)], 

what is your intent here ? you have not defined any object with the name C from which you could feasibly go in and get elements 3:31 out of it.
C happens to be the name of a function in base R (stats::C) which is about setting contrasts on factors, as its a function, it can't be subsetted with square brackets like you attempted.
