Biobase
Biobase is an open-source software package that forms part of the Bioconductor project, designed for biological data analysis using the R programming language. It provides foundational data structures and utilities for handling high-throughput experimental data, such as gene expression measurements from microarrays and sequencing experiments. The package is widely used as infrastructure to support interoperability across Bioconductor tools and workflows.
Central to Biobase are core S4 classes that standardize how experimental data and metadata are stored and
Biobase emphasizes interoperability, enabling downstream Bioconductor packages to read, write, and transform data through a common
The package originated as a foundational component within Bioconductor and is maintained by the Bioconductor community.
