I installed DOSE and loaded the package, but when i tried to use findPathClusters, the error popped up as 'could not find function ''findPathClusters''. Has the function been removed from the latest package DOSE or the name of the function changed? Please advese. Thank you.

AFAIK the function findPathClusters has never been part of DOSE, but is rather included in the package aPEAR (here).

Note that aPEAR is also developed by another group than the authors of DOSE and clusterProfiler. Yet, in the vignette in which the functionality of aPEAR is explained, example data present in DOSE is used, as are the results of an enrichment analysis run by clusterProfiler.
