Question

[harris]

HI Jared or anyone. Trying to load bigSCale2 and says not available for R 3.6.1, then tried 3.6.3, then tried 4.02--same answer not available. Looked at the required packages, loaded "SingleCellExperiment", "BioQC", "org.Hs.eg.db" ok, but cannot load "org.Ms.eg.db"--says not available for any of those R.

Any suggestion to try. Thanks Here is an example with R 3.6.1--get the same with 3.6.3 and 4.0.2. steve

 BiocManager::install("org.Ms.eg.db")
Bioconductor version 3.10 (BiocManager 1.30.10), R 3.6.1 (2019-07-05)
Installing package(s) 'org.Ms.eg.db'
Installation path not writeable, unable to update packages: boot, class,
  KernSmooth, lattice, MASS, Matrix, mgcv, nlme, nnet, spatial, survival
Old packages: 'backports', 'dplyr', 'scater'
Update all/some/none? [a/s/n]: n
Warning message:
package ‘org.Ms.eg.db’ is not available (for R version 3.6.1)

It seems bigSCale is only available at the github repositoty, so you need devtools or remotes to install it:

devtools::install_github("iaconogi/bigSCale2")

edit: it is not org.Ms.eg.db, the correct is org.Hs.eg.db, ot maybe you want org.Mm.eg.db.
