Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable): unable to find an inherited method for function ‘annotation’ for signature ‘"character"

And the command that produced this was...? I'm guessing you ran merge("esets") or something like that, instead of merge(esets), but I pretty much have to read your mind to know what you're actually doing.

Hi Devon,

I am using "inSilicoMerging" and getting an error message:

Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :  unable to find an inherited method for function 'annotation' for signature '"character"'

I Use R version 3.1.0 ; Bioconductor version 2.14; on Mac OS X 10.7.5

My steps:

(1) # From ArrayExpress I download 2 raw zip files: E-GEOD-52763 (E-GEOD-52763.raw.1.zip) and E_GEOD-45006 (E-GEOD-45006.raw.1.zip)

# code
library(affy)
library(annaffy)
ReadCell = ReadAffy()
Norm.data = rma(ReadCell)
eset1<-Norm.data

# code
eset2<-Norm.dat

# code:
library(inSilicomerging
> esets=list(eset1,eset2)
> eset_FRMA = merge(esets)

INSILICOMERGING: Run with no additional merging technique...
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable): unable to find an inherited method for function 'annotation' for signature '"character"'

or any other gave me the same error message:

> eset_BMC = merge(esets, method="BMC")
> eset_NULL = merge(esets, method=NULL, norm="FRMA", features = "GENE");
> eset_12 = merge(esets, method=NULL, norm="ORIGINAL");

how you solve your problem?
