[BioC] error in DEXSeq fitDispersionFunction()

[Alejandro Reyes]

Dear Georg,

Thanks for your email and noticing the error.  A parameter of the 
glmnb.fit function (statmod package) changed recently from "start" to 
"coef.start". That was making some problems in DEXSeq, but I adapted the 
DEXSeq code to it. Could you try to update to the last version of the 
svn (1.3.16)?

Best wishes,
Alejandro

ps. I added copy to the Bioconductor mailing list in case someone is 
interested, could be helpful for people having the same error message
