R help - Oct 2011 - Generelized Negative Binomial model in R

Hello;

Does anybody knows that R have a function for Generelized Negative Binomial
model, something like "gnbreg" in "STATA" where dispersion
parameter itself
is a function of covaraites ?

Thanks;

Take a look at the edgeR (and DESeq) package in bioconductor.

edgeR uses a GLMs w/ negative binomial to assess differential
expression of genomic regions using count data (aka next generation
sequencing data).
