摘要：The Bioconductor project is an open source effort which leverages R to develop infrastructure and algorithms for the analysis of biological data, in particluar microarray data. Many features of R, including a package-based distribution model, rapid prototyping, and selective migration to high performance implementations lend themselves to the distributed development model which the Bioconductor project uses. Users also benefit from the flexible command line environment which allows integration of the available packages in unique ways suited to individual problems.
