Hi,

I have a list of Ensembl ids that I am trying to use with mgeneSim function. Everytime I run it it returns a 0X0 matrix with the following warning message :-

1: In is.na(go) : is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) of type 'NULL'

Here is the code that I use :-

mytestgenes <- c("ENSG00000271793","ENSG00000172789","ENSG00000264364","ENSG00000120533","ENSG00000174871","ENSG00000112531")

GOsim_matrix <- mgeneSim(genes=mytestgenes,ont="MF",organism="human",measure="Wang",verbose=T)

I am assuming that GOsemsim only works with enrez ids and I was wondering if there is a way to make it work with Ensembl ids.

regards

this was supported in devel branch. see the vignette https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/GOSemSim/inst/doc/GOSemSim.html

if you have no idea how to install devel branch, I recommend you stick with release branch.

Instead you can convert ensemble id to entrez gene id (e.g. using bitr).

What should I change below to make bitr work.

bitr(mytestgenes, fromType="ENSEMBLID", toType="ENTREZID", OrgDb="org.Hs.eg.db")
Error in bitr(mytestgenes, fromType = "ENSEMBLID", toType = "ENTREZID",  : 
  unused argument (OrgDb = "org.Hs.eg.db")

pls make sure clusterProfiler was loaded correctly and you are using the latest release version.
