List of all packages available on Bioconductor

Question

I know how to get the list of all available packages on CRAN (Names of R's available packages and List all packages available on CRAN to console) with the available.packages() function.

But how can I get the list of packages available on Bioconductor?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can have the list of packages with :

BiocManager::available()

Don't forget to install the package (install.packages("BiocManager"))

Answer 2

If you need more info than just the list:

df <- read.dcf(
    url("https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/src/contrib/PACKAGES")
)
as.data.frame(df)
