Hi all,

I am trying to install DESeq library and have not been successful.

install.packages("DESeq", dependencies=TRUE)
Installing package(s) into ‘/home/mklab/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘DESeq’ is not available (for R version 2.14.1)

This is my first time using R. Any pointers what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

I'd recommend you download the latest version of R, and then install Bioconductor, then install DESeq2 which is actively maintained.

If you wait until tomorrow before installing Bioconductor, you will get the very latest version of all software (new versions of Bioconductor come out in April and October every year, and the new version 3.2 should come online today or tomorrow).

You can check the DESeq2 workflow which is designed for beginner R users:
