Genetics

The structure of this section could be:
- Microarrays, gene clustering (SOM)
- Phylogenetics
- QTL

I could mention the following packages:
  qtl     (quantitative traits loci)
  bqtl
  GeneSOM Clustering genes using Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs).
  ape     Analyses of Phylogenetics and Evolution 
  sma     micro-array analysis
  permax  (DNA array)
  genetics
  PHYLOGR (devel)
See also the Bioconductor, that mainly focuses on DNA microarrays.

Image Analysis: Mathematical morphology

Introduction

"Mathematical morphology" refers to local image transformation algorithms -- "local" means that the new colour of a pixel depends on that of the neighbouring pixels.

For instance, the game of life is local transformation.

TODO: Explain, insert a few plots.

(The more rigorous definition, should you want it, refers to non-decreasing, involutive and local transformations.)

TODO

Introduction: explain what mathematical morphology is.
Give a few examples of images one could want to process.

Images (plot.image, plot3d.image)
Packages: mainly EBImage, but also rimage, pixmap

Basic operations: 
translations
rotations

Hit-and-Miss transform ("pattern matching")

Intersection (inf), union (sup), complementary, difference
Dilatation, Erosion
Opening, closing
Gradient, internal gradient, external gradient, laplacian
Top hat
Reconstruction: Hysteresis threshold, Hole filling
Local maxima, max.loc.hys,
regional maxima, geodesic dilatation, r.h.maxima
skeleton, hairy or not
Homotopic kernel (median axis)
