Hi,

I need to convert several hundred SNPs from one build to another. Went to install the liftOver workflow and the install fails.

I followed the copied the instructions for installing the workflow found here

Specifically;

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

I had no problems here but next part didnt work

source("http://bioconductor.org/workflows.R")

workflowInstall("liftOver")

I am running R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not an answer to your question but perhaps a solution to your problem: you can also use LiftOver online

Jim is right and you can use rtracklayer directly. I'd still like to sort out why you can't install the workflow. I've confirmed that the mac binaries and other files are available at the expected location and I am able to install the workflow. The error message says you don't have the stringi package installed:

** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) : 
  there is no package called ‘stringi’

Did you try installing it?  If not, please try installing stringi and let me know if it works.

Can't seem to be able to install 'stringi'. Get a really lengthly error message but here is the cropped jist of it.

> install.packages("stringi")

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
        binary source needs_compilation
stringi  1.1.1  1.1.2             FALSE

installing the source package ‘stringi’

Install the binary rather than source version install.packages("stringi", type="binary"). Probably for most users binary installation is appropriate.

Boom done! That worked fine and after installing the binary version of 'stringi' i was able to load the workflow. Thanks for your help Martin and Valerie.

The liftOver function is part of rtracklayer, so unless you want to work through the workflow, you don't need to install the workflow, just the rtracklayer package. And then if your SNPs are encapsulated in a GRanges, you just import the correct chain file and use liftOver to convert to the correct genome build. As an example, let's liftOver a GRanges from hg19 to hg38:

> download.file("http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hg19/liftOver/hg19ToHg38.over.chain.gz", "hg19ToHg38.over.chain.gz")
trying URL 'http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hg19/liftOver/hg19ToHg38.over.chain.gz'
