Overview
About Bioconductor
**Upcoming Conferences**:
- EuroBioC2026 (Jun 3-5, Turku)
- BioC 2026 (Aug 10-12, Seattle)
The Bioconductor project develops and supports free open-source software for the rigorous and reproducible analysis of biological data, focusing on R and statistical methods. We foster a diverse, collaborative, and welcoming community of developers and data scientists.
Founded in 2001, Bioconductor is an open-source software project widely used in bioinformatics and biomedical research. It hosts over 2,000 R packages contributed by over 1,000 developers, with over 40 million downloads per year. Bioconductor has been cited in more than 60,000 scientific publications.
Bioconductor operates with two releases each year and has an active user community. It is also available as Docker images.
The project is overseen by a Core team based primarily in Boston, with members from US and international institutions. Our Community and Technical Advisory Boards, along with various Committees and Working Groups, are largely composed of dedicated volunteers who support our mission and ensure long-term viability.
