<![CDATA[BOL: Which are the best statistical programming languages to study for a bioinformatician?]]> https://bioinformaticsonline.com/view/119? https://bioinformaticsonline.com/view/119 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:35:34 -0500 https://bioinformaticsonline.com/view/119 <![CDATA[Which are the best statistical programming languages to study for a bioinformatician?]]> In Bio-informatics based genome sequencing and predicting metabolic pathways research jobs I used Matlab, SAS, SPSS, R and several Bioconductor packages. Matlab had a lot of powerful tools and was easy to use, whereas SPSS is for non-programmers and R need programming skills. I am wondering what other people think is best? or there might not be one specific language but a few that lend themselves best to Bio-informatics work that is math heavy and deals with a large amount of data.
