R help - Apr 2008 - generic question -> Genomics with R

Hi everybody,

I am trying to make my mind about the use of R for Computational and 
Statistical Approaches to Genomics.

I know this is a vaste field: this is the main reason why I am sending 
this message to this always useful list! Any key/entry point to this 
field will be extremely welcome!

Please, could you help me to go in the right direction?

Thanks!!!

Ricardo

I am not sure what pointers you are looking for, but checking the CRAN
Task Views [1] may be a starting point.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with R, but maybe you should take a
look at the Task Views and see if there is something you can use at your
field of work:

Thanks Jim - here is some data:

u <- array(NA,c(5,8))
t <- seq(from=0.5, to=0.11,length=15)
t2 <- seq(from=(-0.7),to=(-0.1),length=25)
u[1:15] <- t
u[16:40] <- t2
v <- array(NA,c(5,8))
y <- seq(from=(-0.9), to=(-0.01),length=40)
v[1:40] <- y

I've made up the data but it's similar magnitude and the longitude 
direction is u and latitude direction is v as in the real data.

I really appreciate your help!
