I was using edgeR for an exact test (output to a variable "et"), done by exactTest() function. Then I used goana(et, species='Hs') function to do GO enrichment analysis and kegga(et, species='Hs') to do KEGG analysis. GO analysis was OK but KEGG analysis went wrong (see the code and output below). I googled but couldn't find useful hints. Anyone have any idea of it? Thanks in advance.

I restarted R and did it again. The error was same but it had 2 additional warning messages. I put them here just in case. Function traceback() returned same output.

Start a new session and try this:

requireNamespace("KEGGREST")
KEGGREST::keggLink("pathway", "hsa")

Does it give an error?

Yes. Same error.

The problem seems to be either with curl or with your internet connection, so it is not something that the edgeR or limma developers can solve.

Also, we can't reproduce your problem -- it all works fine for us. Perhaps there is a problem with your internet connection that might be timing out.

Yes. It's not problem of edgeR. Same code worked at my home using Mac. It should be the problem of connection. I will contact IT. Thanks anyway.

Actually it looks like an issue with KEGGREST, thanks to Martin Morgan for bringing it to my attention.

I've just committed a fix to release (KEGGREST 1.10.1) and devel (1.11.1). This should be available via biocLite() tomorrow early afternoon Seattle time or right away via svn (release url is https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/branches/RELEASE_3_2/madman/Rpacks/KEGGREST, username/password is readonly).

Thanks for that. I wonder though why I don't see the same error with KEGGREST 1.10.0 or 1.11.0? The following code works fine for me:

library(limma)
library(org.Hs.eg.db)
EG <- keys(org.Hs.eg.db)
DE <- sample(500,EG)
ke <- kegga(de=DE, universe=EG, species="Hs")
topKEGG(ke)

I'll have to look into it a little deeper. Martin's report may have been unrelated to the original issue (though the discovery was prompted by it), but he definitely noticed a bug which was that my code was depending on a textual value in the response to determine whether there was an error, but it should have been depending on the http status in the response. Sorry if I muddied the waters.

If it helps, here is the minimal code that reproduces kegga's call to KEGGREST. It works fine for me in a clean session in either R 3.2.3 or R-devel. I have run with it with both KEGGREST 1.11.0 and 1.11.1.

requireNamespace("KEGGREST")
KEGGREST::keggLink("pathway", "hsa")

Thank you Dan and Gordon. My problem may not be the bug you fixed as same code worked when I was using another network. I will also try the new version. It seem it is not available to me yet, or because I'm using older environment? I'm using Bioconductor 3.2 (BiocInstaller 1.20.1), R 3.2.0 (2015-04-16).

Turns out I just missed the deadline yesterday, so it will not be available (via biocLite() ) until this morning.

Sounds like your issue is not related though.

Yes. I have updated to KEGGREST_1.10.1 and confirmed the error persists.

I finally fixed the problem by setting proxy as stated in this link. But the "http_proxy_user=user:passwd" style didn't suit me. I put user name and password before URL, as stated in wiki.
