Recommend Packages using existing biocViews.

Description

biocViews are "keywords" which are used to describe a given package. They are broadly divided into three categories, representing the type of packages present in the Bioconductor Project - Software, Annotation Data and Experiment Data. One can find packages which are tagged with biocViews using this function.

Usage

    recommendPackages(biocViews, use.release=TRUE, intersect.views=TRUE)

Arguments

biocViews	A character vector containing a list of biocViews. Currently only biocViews from the software branch are supported.
use.release	A logical character indicating if you want packages recommended from the release branch of Biocondutor.
intersect.views	A logical character indicating if you want packages which are tagged with all the input biocViews or packages tagged with any one or more of the biocViews.

Value

A character vector containing a list of packages. If multiple biocViews are given as input, the result returns packages tagged with all or atleast one of the input biocViews.
