Error: package ‘GenomeInfoDb’ could not be loaded

PLEASE ADVISE:
While working on the scRNAseq using Seurat, I installed and had no problem with the code
BiocManager::install("SingleCellExperiment")

However when tried to load it using the code
library(SingleCellExperiment)

it failed and message showed in my console as:
Error: package ‘GenomeInfoDb’ could not be loaded

  1. stop(gettextf("package %s could not be loaded", sQuote(pkg)), call. = FALSE, domain = NA)

  2. .getRequiredPackages2(pkgInfo, quietly = quietly)

  3. library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc, quietly = quietly)

  4. .getRequiredPackages2(pkgInfo, quietly = quietly)

  5. library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc, quietly = quietly)

  6. .getRequiredPackages2(pkgInfo, quietly = quietly)

  7. library(SingleCellExperiment)

Did you try to reinstall GenomeInfoDb in case:

 BiocManager::install("GenomeInfoDb")

Thanks for suggestion. I tried, however the issue still exists...

Did the installation of GenomeInfoDb itself run successfully? Does library(GenomeInfoDb) work as expected?

Thanks for responding. Yes. the installation itself worked.

However, when tried

Traceback showed:

This shows that the installation didn't work ("non-zero status" means error), but I can't figure out why exactly. Note that the update of cowplot also failed, so this is a problem with your R/bioconductor, not with a particular package.

First, make sure you close all R and RStudio sessions, reopen a single window, and try again.

The warning suggests you are using renv, this could interfere with the usual package installation? You could try, possibly in a new project, to run renv::deactivate() then try to install again.

Perhaps this is related to the bigger problem (posted previously) that I have been encountering and would like to let you know why I came to this step :frowning:
While working on the single cell RNAseq analysis (did initially with R 3.6.1 around 2020/03~2020/08), I was able to get to the point of UMAPs and list of feature genes using Seurat. However, I found out several packages, especially for the advanced downstream analyses such as gene enrichment and differential analysis call for R 4; Therefore, I decided to upgrade to R 4 while locked the environment with renv. (even though I do not know quite well enough how to use it). After done this (changed my working environment), the UMAP is different from what I have done. Intuitive thinking, therefore, was to downgrade my R back to R 3.6.1. Unfortunately, I found out that this version of R is out.

In other words, is this possible to replicate what I have done before ? Please see the sessionInfo () from previous analysis

I'm not familiar with renv, so can't really help you on that.

Just one thing I can add: almost by definition, UMAP is supposed to have some randomness. So no big surprise that you would get a somewhat different result running it in different environments. Is that difference really that big to be a problem? Does most of that difference not disappear with tuning a bit the parameters?

In particular, the main change could be Seurat 3.1.0 (3 Aug 2019) which started using the package uwot for the UMAP by default (previous versions since 2.3.1 used the Python package umap-learn via reticulate). You don't have the Seurat version in your sessionInfo(), based on the R 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) you probably used Seurat 3.0.2, so a different implementation of UMAP. You should be able to run the Python version in RunUMAP() with the option umap.method = "umap-learn".

Thank you for the insightful answer!
While took your notes and tried to look back any of my previous saved documents, I could not find the version of the Seurat, however I did find this which confirmed your thoughts here:
