Hello,

I am trying to install the "VariantAnnotation" library and load it. Although it installs without an issue it gives me an error while loading. Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Kavitha,

It looks you're working with packages from an old release (October 2014?). The current Bioconductor release is 3.1 (April 2015) and works with R 3.2.1. Can you update your R and Bioconductor packages? Help can be found here
