R Programming for Bioinformatics

By Robert Gentleman

Focusing on the programming skills needed to use R for the solution of bioinformatics and computational biology problems, this practical guide covers the fundamentals of the R language, object-oriented programming in R, and data mark-up and web services languages and tools. It examines different aspects of string handling and manipulations; discusses the interfacing of R with other languages, such as C, FORTRAN, Perl, and Python; and explains how to write software packages as well as debug and profile R code.
