Training Project in the Use of Bioinformatics Tools and Genomic Applications with BioConductor (on R platform)

Status: Running

General Objective: The objective of this project is to train Ecuadorian researchers who carry out development and research in areas related to the exploration and exploitation of genomic information in statistical and computational analysis that allows the integration of the different information analyzes in a single computer system. Free to use, such as BioConductor on the R platform for the analysis and interpretation of genomic data.
