I am trying to capture GSE60701 GEOquery and am running up against the following n message:

could not find function"get GEO

What does that mean?  I used

gse <- getGEO(filename=system.file("extdata/GSE60701_family.soft.gz,package="GEOquery"))

and get that message.

Any thoughts?

Any time you see a message that says 'Could not find function', it means that you haven't loaded the package that contains that function yet. So start with

library(GEOquery)

Just run the code. But you shouldn't ever be calling system.file(). That is something people do in vignettes when they want to show how to do something that might only work 'normally' in an interactive session, or when there is an internet connection. So say you want GSE60701, for real.

> z <- getGEO("GSE60701")

And then you can do whatever analysis you might want. But do note that getGEO() returns a list, so depending on the GSE you download, you may get one or more list items. If that doesn't mean anything to you, then read 'An Introduction to R', because you will need it.
