Description
In this bioinformatics adventure, we are going to continue to look amino acid sequences and compute similarity scores using the BLOSUM62 matrix, but we will take a glimpse at some of the tools that are available in the world of Bioconductor. This set of tasks are set after Exercise 3 in the Sequence Similarity materials
Bioconductor is a collection of R packages that has been built by several bioinformatics researchers to perform common calculations in their field. In their own words, ``Bioconductor provides tools for the analysis and comprehension of high-throughput genomic data. Bioconductor uses the R statistical programming language, and is open source and open development. It has two releases each year, and an active user community.’’
Notes
- Introduce students to the Bioconductor suite of R packages
- Perform sequence similarity calculations
