Actually, It is a common practice the integration of the statistical analysis of the resulted data and in silico
predictions of the data generated in your manuscript and your daily
research. Mass spectrometrist, biologist and bioinformaticians commonly
use programs like excel, calc or other office tools to generate their
charts and statistical analysis. In recent years many computational
biologists especially those from the Genomics field, regard R and
Bioconductor as fundamental
tools for their research.
R is a modern, functional programming language
that allows for rapid development of ideas; it is a language and environment for
statistical computing and graphics.The rich set
of inbuilt functions makes it ideal for high-volume analysis or
statistical studies.
