Hi all, 

I have been running an analysis from microarray data and when I try to run this line " columns(org.Hs.eg.db)", I get an error. Could anyone please help me to understand this problem?

 

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
install.packages("org.Hs.eg.db", repos="http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.1/data/annotation")
biocLite("org.Hs.eg.db")
biocLite("hgu95av2.db")
biocLite("tidyverse")
columns(org.Hs.eg.db)
keytypes(org.Hs.eg.db)

Thanks in advance

There are two problems here. First, don't do this:

install.packages("org.Hs.eg.db", repos="http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.1/data/annotation")

The whole idea behind biocLite is that you don't need to figure out what repository to use, particularly since Bioconductor package versions are specific to a given R version. By hijacking the process like that you are taking the chance that you will install the wrong thing.

Second, you have to load a package before you can use it.

Hi James, 

Thanks for your help.

I had loaded the package before using "columns".

I  have found out the problem. Everything went well when I loaded the biomaR package.

Thanks
