This function queries Bioconductor for a list of available packages. Current and previous releases can be queried, up to Bioconductor 1.5.

Usage

wood_bioc_packages(release = "release")

Arguments

release

character(1)
Bioconductor release to query for. Can be either a numeric code (like 3.12) or one of two keywords: "release" and "devel".

Value

A character vector of available packages.

Examples

print(wood_bioc_packages(), max = 15)
