**2.3.1 Bioconductor**

Bioconductor is an open source and open development software project, with the broad goals of providing widespread access to a broad range of powerful statistical and graphical methods for the analysis of genomic data, facilitating the inclusion of biological metadata and driving comprehensive analysis and application of data. Its application function is to provide users with the integrated packages. It has also provided many packages of MS data processing and analysis for users. Bioconductor is based on the R language, so it requires that users must be familiar with the R-language working environment and have some knowledge of programming, that is to say, it will be difficult for the general clinical and lab workers.
