Dear Mark,
Thank you.
I don't have access to the source tree. Does this mean that I need to
download the annotate library again, or can I grab the functions
separately? If the latter, how is that done?
Best,
Monnie

in annotate 1.18.0
Hi Monnie,
These functions seem to have disappeared as we moved from the older
annotations to the new kind. I have just checked in some replacement
functions for you into the development branch (entrezGeneByID() and
entrezGeneQuery()). If you have access to the source tree then these
are already available, but they should be on the website within 24
hours.

The function "locuslinkQuery" no longer seems to exist, and neither
does "locuslinkByID". Here are my code and session info:

the packages that the documentation states are needed. I noticed that
the session info for the documenation had XML version 1.95.2 instead
of 1.96-0 as in mine. I also listed all of the functions available
in the annotate package, using ls(package:annotate) and locuslinkQuery
is not there. I looked around for various substitutes, but I could
not find any. Has this function been removed? If so, what is its
replacement? If not, what did I do wrong?
