Error in plot(rowMeans(counts(cds, normalized = TRUE)), fitInfo(cds)$perGeneDispEsts,  : 
  error in evaluating the argument 'y' in selecting a method for function 'plot': Error: could not find function "fitInfo"

 

Thanks for the help.

It looks like a collision between DESeq (old version) and DESeq2. This shouldn't happen if you use a recent version of Bioconductor.

Can you post sessionInfo()?

Your local version of Bioconductor software is:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocVersion()

The current version of Bioconductor is 3.2. You can also find the current version here:

Thank you Michael. I do not have old DESeq attached as you can see below.

Can you type "plotDispEsts" in the R terminal and see what comes back? You should get the function code and location. It looks like this function is overwritten from somewhere, and the code is a copy of the DESeq code.

Hi Michael,

 

> plotDispEsts
standardGeneric for "plotDispEsts" defined from package "BiocGenerics"

function (object, ...) 
standardGeneric("plotDispEsts")
<environment: 0x4c0e200>
Methods may be defined for arguments: object
Use  showMethods("plotDispEsts")  for currently available ones.

 

Thanks.

hi John,

I'm not sure I can figure this out without being able to explore on your computer. 

I can tell you that the line of code contained in the error is referencing DESeq code, but actually that line doesn't exist in DESeq either. It's slightly different in DESeq:

https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/DESeq/blob/master/R/plotDispEsts.R#L26-L34

I did find code matching your error in some DESeq wrapper packages, however e.g.:

https://github.com/cran/rnaseqWrapper/blob/9228db45812cff6e3c902eab10161536268ccaf7/R/plotDispEsts.R

So, if these were loaded at the same time you could produce the error, that would explain it.
