R-language: http://www.r-project.org

BioConductor: http://www.bioconductor.org

Advantages of R

• Free!
• Powerful, many libraries have been created to perform application specific tasks. e.g. analysis of microarray experiments and Next-Gen sequencing (bioconductor: including Bioseq group).
• Presentation quality graphics
  • Save as a png, pdf or svg
• History
  • What you do can be saved for the next time you use R.
  • Ability to turn it into an automated script to perform again and again on different data

Disadvantages

• Lack of a comprehensive graphical user interface, but two do exist: However some do exist: R commander: http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/ and Limma-gui (microarrays) : http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limmaGUI/

Preparation

• (Optional) Download and save the tutorial data set from
  • http://bioinformatics.knowledgeblog.org/wp-content/uploads/bioinf/kerr/data.tsv
  • Start R (type R on a Linux or Mac terminal, or find the starting link from PC)

Getting More Help

• Project Home page
  • http://www.r-project.org/
  • Check out the ‘introduction to R’, which is a much more in depth guide .
  • Also R has a built-in help system (see later)

Working directory

This is the directory used to store your data and results. It is useful if it is also the directory where your input data is stored.

• Mac/Linux: this is the directory where you typed in R
• PC: Change using the change working directory option
