Hi! I'm new to R and I'm trying to do GO enrichment analysis using biomaRT. I have affymetrix data of rice (GPL2025) I have run the following script:

> library(biomaRt)                                                                                                                                                                             
> mart <- useEnsembl("plants_mart", "osativa_eg_gene",host = "plants.ensembl.org")                                                              
> annot <- getBM(c("affy_rice","ensembl_gene_id","entrezgene","external_gene_name"), "affy_rice",featureNames(z), mart)
Error in getBM(c("affy_rice", "ensembl_gene_id", "entrezgene", "external_gene_name"),  : 
  could not find function "featureNames"

You'll need to load the package where featureNames() is defined. This is in Biobase rather than biomaRt, so you should add the line library(Biobase) to the top of your script.

If you see an error like this in the future you can search the help files for all the package you have installed using ?? e.g. ??featureNames. This will hopefully help you find the package where a function is defined.
