Lulu,

documentation for the DESeq package comes with the package, and you can access it e.g. with typing "help.start()" into R. The documentation is also online, e.g. at http://www.bioconductor.org/packages...tml/DESeq.html

The function plotDispEsts is a little helper function defined 'on the fly' when you run the code presented in the vignette. It is not yet defined when you attach DESeq. So, you will need to first run the corresponding part of the code in the vignette (where plotDispEsts is defined) in order to use this function.

There may indeed be some benefit in having this function already defined when DESeq is attached, in future versions of the package.
