I installed new package and added library GenomicFeatures. One of the changes in version 1.20 is renamed function makeTranscriptDbFromGFF() to makeTxDbFromGFF(), but using this new name I got an error that function cannot be found. Can you tell me why? (Btw, old function works fine)

I follow with RNA-seq workflow from http://www.bioconductor.org/help/workflows/rnaseqGene/ and using exonsBy() function I cannot extract exon_name (instead of exon names this function generates NA). Any idea why?

Can you give us the output of packageVersion("GenomicFeatures") or sessionInfo() after you have loaded GenomicFeatures?

I checked and it is ‘1.18.7’, but why if I installed it few hours ago using 

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("GenomicFeatures")

You are running an outdated version of Bioconductor, and hence will get the old version (1.18.x) of the GenomicFeatures packages. See 

"The current release of Bioconductor is version 3.1; it works with R version 3.2.1. Users of older R and Bioconductor versions must update their installation to take advantage of new features."

from http://bioconductor.org/install/ for a detailed explanation and on how to install recent versions. Please note that the version of Bioconductor is bound to the version of R you are running.

I installed a new version of R and reinstalled 'GenomicFeatures' and now everything works fine. Thank you.
