Featured channel
The RPackage channel brings together all of the F1000Research articles describing new R packages that are applicable to the life sciences. R is the statistical language + environment of choice for many researchers due to the fact that it is open source, platform-independent and allows any user to extend its functionality. Bundling this new code together with documentation and test data into an R package makes it much easier to download, use and, importantly, reproduce.
