<p>Started article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''BioConductor''' is an open source and open development software project for the analysis and comprehension of genomic data.<br /> <br /> The project was started in the Fall of 2001 and set out to collect and integrate software for the statistical analysis of wet-lab data in molecular biology. It is based on the statistical programming language [[R programming language|R]]. Its main application is on the analysis of single channel Affymetrix and two (or more channel) [[cDNA]]/[[Oligonucleotide|Oligo]] [[microarray]]s.<br /> <br /> The broad goals of the projects are to<br /> <br /> *provide access to a wide range of powerful statistical and graphical methods for the analysis of genomic data;<br /> *facilitate the integration of biological metadata in the analysis of experimental data: e.g. literature data from [[PubMed]], annotation data from LocusLink;<br /> *allow the rapid development of extensible, scalable, and interoperable software;<br /> *promote high-quality documentation and reproducible research; and <br /> *provide training in computational and statistical methods for the analysis of genomic data.<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * http://www.r-project.org [[GNU]] R is a programming language for statistical computing, a free clone of [http://www.insightful.com/ S-PLUS] also based on the [[S programming language|S]] programming language<br /> * http://www.bioconductor.org<br /> * http://www.affymetrix.com Affymetrix is a leader in microarray technology, there are others<br /> * The community of the Debian [[Linux]] distribution strives towards an [http://wiki.debian.org/AliothPkgBioc automated building of BioConductor packages] for their distribution.
