I think this is a recent break. I'm mostly concerned because I need to use this "broken" functionality in a tutorial for BioC2016 this week and it would require changes to package internals, not the vignette, in order to fix this at my end.
library(SummarizedExperiment) se <- SummarizedExperiment(rowRanges = GRanges(1, IRanges(1, 10))) granges(se) # Error in granges(se) : # could not find symbol "use.names" in environment of the generic function # This still works rowRanges(se) Perhaps we should be using rowRanges() rather than granges() but this is breaking a few things in minfi and bsseq. I've noticed this on granges,RangedSummarizedExperiment-method, but it may affect other methods (haven't tested).
