Hi, I find there is some form of namespace conflict between the GenomicRanges package and 'graph'
A session showing reproducible issue, and workaround, follows. Thanks for your help and attention. Malcolm Cook Computational Biology - Stowers Institute for Medical Research PS: The issue appears very similar to the issue I previously reported http://grokbase.com/t/r/bioc-devel/116anxn80x/graph-package-conflict-with-rtracklayer/11ab01scy8#201110078thy8az6m72fzc0skpj68tw8bm Which error appears now resolved, thanks to coordination between Martin, Michael, John, ...????
