Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reminder. They are not the same indeed, all my questions got answers now.

 You might want to double-check that the two datasets are
 indeed identical; they don't appear to be to me:

 load("gage/data/bods.rda")
 ls()
 gage.bods <- bods
 load("pathview/data/bods.rda")
 pathview.bods <- bods
 identical(gage.bods, pathview.bods)
 # returns FALSE

 > all.equal(gage.bods, pathview.bods)
 [1] "Attributes: < Component “dimnames”: Component 2:
 1 string mismatch >"

 > dimnames(gage.bods)
 [[1]]
 NULL

 [[2]]
 [1]
 "package"   "species"   "kegg
 code" "id.type"  

 > dimnames(pathview.bods)
 [[1]]
 NULL

 [[2]]
 [1]
 "package"   "species"   "kegg
 code" "gene.id"  


 Look like one has id.type and the other has gene.id.

 > packageVersion("gage")
 [1] ‘2.13.5’
 > packageVersion("pathview")
 [1] ‘1.3.4’
