BiocPkgTools

Collection of simple tools for learning about Bioconductor Packages

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.30.1

Bioconductor has a rich ecosystem of metadata around packages, usage, and build status. This package is a simple collection of functions to access that metadata from R. The goal is to expose metadata for data mining and value-added functionality such as package searching, text mining, and analytics on packages.

Installation
