    Could not find function 'estimateDispersion' error

    Hi..
    I'm running DESeq (2.11) on R (2.25.2) on windows 7 . I'm getting following error,
    Error: could not find function "estimateDispersion"
    Do I need to update anything or what am I doing wrong here?
    Thanks!

    Try this when stuck on a command in R:

    ?estimateDispersion
    ??estimateDispersion

    The command is estimateDispersions. But the '??' should give you a pointer in the right direction by listing all possible commands matching your query.

      Hi Bruce,
      I'm still unable to understand why it can't find the function. I tried to update all the bioconductor packages..but the error remains.

        "estimateDispersions" not "estimateDispersion"

        You are missing an "s"

          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
          by SEQadmin2



          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

          Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
          by SEQadmin2



          Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
