Hi,
when running the following on a fresh R,
library("IRanges")
annotation
showMethods("annotation")
Biobase:::annotation
showMethods("annotation")
I get (see the "^^^^^" marked output at the bottom):
> library("IRanges")
Carico il pacchetto richiesto: 'IRanges'
The following object(s) are masked from package:base :
cbind,
order,
pmax,
pmax.int,
pmin,
pmin.int,
rbind,
rep.int,
table
> annotation
standardGeneric for "annotation" defined from package "IRanges"
function (x, ...)
standardGeneric("annotation")
<environment: 0x1a302b0>
Methods may be defined for arguments: x
Use showMethods("annotation") for currently available ones.
> showMethods("annotation")
Function: annotation (package IRanges)
x="AnnotatedList"
> Biobase:::annotation
standardGeneric for "annotation" defined from package "Biobase"
function (object)
standardGeneric("annotation")
<environment: 0x205cee0>
Methods may be defined for arguments: object
Use showMethods("annotation") for currently available ones.
> showMethods("annotation")
Function "annotation":
<not a generic function>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It seems that the value of isGeneric("annotation"), when it is called
within showMethods, is FALSE, while it is TRUE when called outside.
