Introduction

The Bioconductor project relies upon contributed packages to help meet the goal of providing access to a wide range of statistical and graphical methods for the analysis of genomic data.

Extending the Functionality of Existing Packages

If your package provides the same functionality as an existing package, but provides additional features, please consider contacting the existing package's maintainer.

Most maintainers are happy to integrate new functionality from other users/developers and to give credit where it is due.
