When attempting to download a gene, obtained the following error message. Here is my code:

library(AnnotationHub)
ah <- AnnotationHub()
ah.bw <- subset(ah, rdataclass == "BigWigFile" & species == "Homo sapiens")
qhs<-query(ah.bw, c("E055","H3K27me3","fc.signal"))
qhs[1]$genome
# [1] "hg19"
genes=qhs[[1]]

and the error message:

Can you edit your question to include the R code you were evaluating, I guess something like hub[["AH12345"]] ? Post a comment when you've edited.

For the original question, AnnotationHub tries to retrieve the resource from it's source

> qhs$sourceurl
[1] "http://egg2.wustl.edu/roadmap/data/byFileType/signal/consolidated/macs2signal/foldChange/E055-H3K27me3.fc.signal.bigwig"

And pasting the source url into the browser or otherwise trying to retrieve this url (e.g., with wget) times out, so the server is not available. I'm not sure whether this is temporary or more permanent... The second example suggests a similar problem.

I've confirmed Martin's observation that the server is unavailable.

I have the exact same problem with AnnotationHub. This is the error I get in the command line:

> ah <- AnnotationHub()
snapshotDate(): 2015-11-05
> q3a <- query(ah, c("H3K4me3","EpigenomeRoadMap","H1 Cells")) # returns 6 records
> h3k4m3.h1.epi.narrow <- q3a[["AH29884"]] #getting narrow peak file
require(“rtracklayer”)

  title: E003-H3K4me3.narrowPeak.gz
  reason: error in evaluating the argument 'con' in selecting a method for function 'import': Error in cache(yy) : 1 resources failed to download

No idea what is happening. Everything was working fine till yesterday. So when this issue happened, I updated my R, Rstudio, and Bioconductor to the latest versions.

I get this error in Rstudio

> library(AnnotationHub)
> ah = AnnotationHub()
Error in AnnotationHub() : could not find function "dbfile"

The problem in Rstudio looks like a version mis-match; does BiocInstaller::biocValid() report problems that you can address?

This is what I get now in Rstudio

​> BiocInstaller::biocValid()
[1] TRUE
> h3k4m3.h1.epi.narrow <- q3a[[2]]

Can you please be more specific in your response. Please EDIT your response to confirm that this is in Rstudio. Please also be sure to start a new session, and to provide the complete transcript including sessionInfo().

Sorry about that, I was typing too fast ! Yes, this is in Rstudio. I started a new session, and tried the following commands. Also shown below is sessionInfo().
​Thanks !

I think that the immediate problem is that the server is unavailable. There is an outstanding issue with importing some narrowPeaks files, but I'm not sure if that is also a problem here.

Is there an alternate way to access these files - any other server or source ? I believe its not so hard to get the BED file, but it would be nice to get the BED file in the format of a GRanges object.

FYI this has been fixed. The new snapshotDate() is Nov 19:

> ah <- AnnotationHub()
snapshotDate(): 2015-11-19

Let us know if you still have problems with these or any other files.

Thanks.

Valerie
