I am following the scater workshop tutorial found here:

https://github.com/hemberg-lab/scRNA.seq.course/blob/master/13-exprs-norm.Rmd

I have run all of the code from the first 12 chapters without any problem.

When I try to run this section of code:

plotRLE(
    umi.qc[endog_genes, ], 
    exprs_mats = list(Raw = "log2_counts", CPM = "exprs"),
    exprs_logged = c(TRUE, TRUE),
    colour_by = "batch"
)

I get this error,

Error: could not find function "plotRLE"

To reproduce the error, i tried in a new session:

#############
library(scater, quietly = TRUE)

scater::newSCESet()
#Error in scater::newSCESet() :
#  Require at least one of exprsData, tpmData, fpkmData or countData arguments.

scater::plotRLE()

#Error: 'plotRLE' is not an exported object from 'namespace:scater'

################

even though plotRLE is listed as a function here:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/manuals/scater/man/scater.pdf

Any help or hints appreciated

Ian

Your package versions are out of date. We are currently on scater version 1.4.0 and BioC 3.5, running on R 3.4.0. Upgrade your installation and plotRLE will be available.

Thanks, that solved it.
