4. A brief history of R R is an implementation of the S language
S was developed in 1976 at Bell Laboratories (now Lucent)
John Chambers with Rick Becker and Alan Wilks: "to turn ideas into software, quickly and faithfully."
Chambers is a member of the R development team
Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman released R (their common first initial) in 1993
“R” is a GNU licenced, FREE and open source implementation of S.

5. My experience with S/R
NCBI – Integration of PDB structure into GenBank and Cn3D
Steve Bryant – NCBI used S to build the first life-sciences S database package “PKB” to analyze PDB structures.
Still in use today.
