[BioC] DESeq estimateDispersions() problem

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi Karl,

estimateDispersions is still definitely there ... you can verify that
by looking through the the DESeq Reference Manual:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.10/bioc/manuals/DESeq/man/DESeq.pdf

It seems there's something wonky going on with your install. As
Nicolas said, providing the output from `sessionInfo()` after you load
DESeq will be most helpful.

As a side note, I just want to point out that you are trying to invoke
the help incorrectly:

You should remove the open/close parens. So your call to help should be:

R> ?estimateDispersions

HTH,
