(see the PFAM and PROSITE environments in the data packages).
Getting Started With Bioconductor 1.7
=====================================
To get started with Bioconductor 1.7, please:
- Install R 2.2.0. Bioconductor 1.7 has been designed expressly for
this version of R.
- Follow the instructions here:

iSPlot KEGGSOAP maDB MANOR
msbase pgUtils RdbiPgSQL rhdf5
RMAGEML SAGElyzer SBMLR stam
widgetInvoke
- The following packages are not currently available for OS X:
aCGH edd RdbiPgSQL rhdf5
