Hi all,

While trying to install the OrganismDbi package, I am getting an error saying that its dependency GenomicFeatures cannot be found.

I was able to install GenomicFeatures without any issues by running biocLite('GenomicFeatures'), however, and library(GenomicFeatures) loads it successfully. 

What might prevent GenomicFeatures from being found by other packages that require it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
