BioC 2.2 Released
Document Actions
BioC 2.2, consisting of 260 packages and designed to work with R 2.7.0, was released today.
We are pleased to announce the release of Bioconductor 2.2. This release includes 35 new packages, and many improvements to existing packages. There are now 260 package in Bioconductor 2.2. These packages are compatible with R 2.7.0.
As a member of the Bioconductor community, you have contributed greatly to this release. Perhaps you are a perplexed newcomer asking for help on the Bioc mailing list. Perhaps you are an experienced user seeking reproducible and advanced functionality. Or perhaps you are a package developer helping others to make sound sense of their data. Whatever your role, you've made Bioconductor the resource it is today. We are especially grateful to package developers, to members of the Bioconductor team in Seattle, and to those participants on the Bioc mailing list who knowledgeably and patiently answer questions large and small.
High-throughput genomic research is a dynamic and exciting field. It is hard to predict what surprising packages are in store for future Bioconductor releases. We anticipate continued integration with diverse data sources, use of R's advanced graphics abilities, and implementation of cutting edge research algorithms for the benefit of all Bioconductor users. Short-read DNA resequencing technologies are one area where growth seems almost certain.
We look forward to a vibrant release cycle!
