Hi,

I used to convert gene aliases to entrez ids etc with the following code:

mysymbols <- c("TLR4",  "STAT3")

library("org.Hs.eg.db")
matx <- maty <- select(org.Hs.eg.db, keys=mysymbols, columns=c("ENTREZID","GENENAME"), keytype="ALIAS")

Now, I get an error:

Error in select(org.Hs.eg.db, keys = mysymbols, columns = c("ENTREZID",  : 
  unused arguments (keys = gsymbols2, columns = c("ENTREZID", "GENENAME"), keytype = "ALIAS")

Has something changed in the package/select method? Am I doing something wrong?

thanks!!

Probably another package has defined a select() function; try

AnnotationDbi::select(org.Hs.eg.db, keys=mysymbols,   
    columns=c("ENTREZID","GENENAME"), keytype="ALIAS")

The output of sessionInfo() is always helpful for further diagnosis.

Thanks! That worked!!
