I was trying to install GenVisR package for the R version 4.2.1. It showed the following error. When I tried to install "FField", it is showing again an error and library of GenVisR is not loaded. Please suggest what should I do? Thank You.

Code should be placed in three backticks as shown below

Package ‘FField’ was removed from the CRAN repository.enter link description here I installed FField by using remotes::install_github("cran/FField"). Then I successfully installed by using BiocManager::install("GenVisR") .

Have you tried to install Rtools as it was recommended ?

an update has been applied, removing the FField dependency, if you try the devel version there should not be an issue.

And when will the dev. version be made available publicly? dev bioconductor requires updating R into the developmental, unreleased, version of R

You're commenting on an issue that is 12-month old. What was considered to be dev at the time has long been released. It will be more productive if you describe the problem you're having, show the error you get, and share your sessionInfo().

The same exact issue as OP, which is why I was following up.

My solution was to download the dev version through github:

# install and load devtools package
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)

# install GenVisR from github
install_github("griffithlab/GenVisR")

This solution bypasses the need to figure out which version of R is required to get the version of bioconductor that has the package version that does not have the same dependency with FField (or update to the most recent R).

Unfortunately, lolliplot() no longer functions and Lolliplot(), the replacement, is in development and non-functional.

I asked a question on their github: https://github.com/griffithlab/GenVisR/issues/394

Please try altering the host parameter within the Lolliplot() function. The function pulls from biomart and it looks like the default host has changed.

For example, try the us mirror using the provided example in the r documention:

object <- Lolliplot(dataset.mode1, transcript="ENST00000263967",
+                     species="hsapiens", txdb=txdb, BSgenome=BSgenome, host="https://useast.ensembl.org")
