TL;DR: Details of the aims and methods of Bioconductor, the collaborative creation of extensible software for computational biology and bioinformatics, and current challenges are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
R: A Language for Data Analysis and Graphics
Ross Ihaka,Robert Gentleman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss their experience designing and implementing a statistical computing language, which combines what they felt were useful features from two existing computer languages, and they feel that the new language provides advantages in the areas of portability, computational efficiency, memory management, and scope.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nelson,Daniel Martin,Daniel Martin,Muneesh Tewari +24 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that miRNAs are present in human plasma in a remarkably stable form that is protected from endogenous RNase activity and established the measurement of tumor-derived mi RNAs in serum or plasma as an important approach for the blood-based detection of human cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
