R packages for the short course

Seattle: (Linux/Unix) (Windows)
golubEsets: (Linux/Unix) (Windows) (Golub et al. (1999) ALL AML microarray dataset)

You can go through the labs using the function vExplorer from the tkWidgets package. At the R prompt type

library(tkWidgets)
library(Seattle)
vExplorer()
and select the package Seattle and the vignette for a given lab, e.g., Lab1.Rnw.

You may also need to download the ellipse and e1071 packages from CRAN, and the hu6800 data package from the Bioconductor data package section.

General documentation for R and Bioconductor can be found in the "Documentation" section of the Bioconductor website (links under "Documentation" in the left side bar).
