Specifying package while calling a function

[ananya-venbakkam]

I ran the ggmsa function without specifying the package (same with print_msa from compbio4all) and encountered no problem. Just wondering if there is any reason not to do this other than losing specificity about where the function comes from?

As long as you run library(msa) you’re good I do it to remind me where a functions is from and so that students don’t have to remember to use library()
