While the statistical foundations of R have made it applicable to many areas of biology, R's extensible nature and thriving open-source community in various biological disciplines have made it an indispensable tool for many computational biologists. Examples in biological sequence analysis, molecular evolution, gene expression analysis and systems dynamics will be used to demonstrate the flexibility of this tool.=0A=0APrerequisite "Introduction to Computational Statistics using R" session or equivalent.
