SOFTWARE
We have developed some packages included in Bioconductor and the R project in collaboration with other researches from different institutions. Some of these libraries are related to genetics and other ones to survival analysis with recurrent events. Most of the packages are available at Bioconductor or CRAN. The devel version of these packages are available at our GitHub account (BRGE - https://github.com/isglobal-brge)
