I am using the minfi devel version 1.17.6 because it has been updated to support the new MethylationEPIC. I downloaded IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICmanifest_0.2.0.tar.gz and IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilmn10b.hg19_0.2.0.tar.gz
from https://bitbucket.org/hansenlab/illumina_epic. I am trying to process MethylationEPIC arrays. The read.metharray.exp() function works. However, many downstream functions like qcReport(), densityPlot(), and getBeta() give me an error:
Error in packageVersion("IlluminaHumanMethylation450kmanifest") :
package ‘IlluminaHumanMethylation450kmanifest’ not found
Is that a problem that it's asking for the wrong manifest? Should I just install and use that library?

This is my code:
library(minfi) library(IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICmanifest) library(IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilmn10b.hg19) idatPath = "./idats" targets = read.csv("samples.csv", strip.white=T, stringsAsFactors=F) rawSet = read.metharray.exp(base=idatPath, targets=targets, verbose=T) qcReport(rawSet, sampNames=pData(rawSet)$RD, sampGroups=pData(rawSet)$Condition, pdf="qcReport.pdf") betaRaw = getBeta(rawSet) normSet = preprocessNoob(rawSet)And this is the info you asked for (which I think looks fine):
> annotation(rawSet) array annotation "IlluminaHumanMethylationEPIC" "ilmn10b.hg19" > dim(rawSet) Features Samples 1052641 16Let me know if you need anything else.
Quick update. I just installed "IlluminaHumanMethylation450kmanifest" library and now everything seems to be working. Even though there are no errors, I am still concerned that minfi is using the wrong manifest somehow.
Thanks for clarifying. I think I am okay then. One minor issue I have is my MethylSet is missing preprocessing info (but I saw that with the stable minfi and 450K arrays as well, so that may be due to how preprocessNoob() works):
Thanks again. And in case you wondering, if I use a different preprocess function, that info shows up:
Will the updates be posted to the Bioconductor devel version soon? I have no idea how that whole process works.
