R is overwhelmingly used in bioinformatics. There is nothing quite like bioconductor. Most new tools/methods (for ex, in the scRNA-seq) release R packages first

- asdff 5y agoWell I'd say conda is quite like bioconductor with the ease of installing relevant packages. scRNAseq has popular r packages like seurat but also popular python packages like scanpy.
- fatboy93 5y agoI didn't understand your comment, which is probably my fault. But you can absolutely install many bioconductor packages from conda. I love using conda as my environment manager rather than compiling and installing 1000p different libraries and tools. Also, I install mamba for drastically faster resolution of the dependencies.
