Hi, does anybody know how I can get in touch ith the author of GOSemSim (Guangchuang Yu)? The package page nor the package contain an email address. Specially, my question regards the GO annotations of genes that come with the package. For example, I am currently using the annotations from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/gene/DATA/ and the GO terms correspoding to a GeneID of 241 are GO:0008047 and GO:0047485. However, if I call geneSim('241', '2561', 'MF', 'human', 'Wang') I get $geneSim [1] 0.29 $GO1 [1] "GO:0005488" "GO:0008047" $GO2 [1] "GO:0004890" which indicates a different set of GO annotations for GeneID 241. Does anybody know why this discrepancy might occur? Thanks, -- Rajarshi Guha [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The package page nor the package contain an email address. The package *has* to contain an email address. The Maintainer field of the DESCRIPTION file has to contain an email address or the package won't build (or check, I forget which). Anyway, from the DESCRIPTION file for GOSemSim: Author: Guangchuang Yu Maintainer: Guangchuang Yu <guangchuangyu at="" gmail.com=""> Whether or not that is a real email address that the author uses is a different subject, but one would hope a package author would want to avail him/herself of user feedback.
