BioConductor

Open source and open development software project for the analysis and comprehension of genomic data

The academic project was started in 2001 and focuses on the creation and distribution of high-quality open source statistical and computational methods and software for bioinformatics. It includes contributions to the management and analysis of cDNA and oligonucleotide microarray and SAGE platforms, to the structure and flexible manipulation of genomic annotation data and to the computational infrastructure required for effective bioinformatics, including GUI component libraries, novel structures and algorithms for networks and graphical systems and improvements to the R language, especially in the domain of programmatic verification, documentation and distribution of software packages.
