First, you need to install BioConductor. source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite() |
For this practical, we are going to use R and BioConductor to investigate a microarray dataset. There are many different ways in which you can run BioConductor; which of these you know about will to some extent depend on your experiences so far. Being a bioinformatician, getting "research" software working is part of your job. So, these notes give broad advice, rather than specific instructions. You will need to make your own decisions. If things do not work, then try and fix it before asking. Google is sometimes quicker than demonstrators.
You have a choice of platforms open to you. R runs on both windows and linux. Some of the suggestions that we give you will be specific to one operating system or the other, but most things will work on both.
Before we start, you need to ensure you have the correct code on your machine.
