Bioconductor
Bioconductor is a free, open source and open development
software project which provides tools for the analysis and
comprehension of high-throughput genomic data.
Bioconductor uses the statistical R programming language, but
does contain contributions in other programming languages.
The goals of the project include: fostering collaborative
development and widespread use of innovative software, reducing
barriers to entry into interdisciplinary scientific research, and
promoting the achievement of remote reproducibility of research
results.
