ORdensity

"ORdensity" is an R package to identify differentially expressed genes, a crucial task in genomic studies facilitated by microarray technology. This technology captures the expression levels of numerous genes, aiming to pinpoint a select few that show significant differences in expression under various conditions, thus providing insights into disease mechanisms or biological processes.

Developed in 2018 based on a methodology by Irigoien and Arenas, ORdensity stands out for its ability to handle the growing volume of data produced by modern biomedical research through efficient data analysis processes. One of the key advantages of ORdensity is its implementation of parallel computing, which significantly enhances run-time performance when used on standard computers with parallel processing capabilities. This approach, however, might also increase memory usage, which users should consider based on their system's resources.
