Why BioConductor? BioConductor [1] is a collection of open source software packages designed to support the analysis of biological data. BioConductor is written using the programming language R, which itself provides access to a wide range of tools for statistical analysis, data presentation, and visualization. BioConductor has more than 200 packages representing not only analytical tools but also data and annotation. It has a highly active international developers' community. For those unfamiliar with R and BioConductor, numerous books and tutorials exist (see, for example, [2–4]), and there are also very active e-mail mailing lists for both.
