My experience on submitting the first Bioconductor package
I am sharing with you here what I have learned and experienced during developing my first R package - PhyloProfile and after successfully submitting it to Bioconductor repository.
Docking or containerization is a new method of distribute a software/tool. Beside providing only the source code for installing, we give the users the so-called container, which contains the whole environment to run the program, including the tool and its dependencies with the exact version and all the needed configurations. By delivering such a “container”, users are always able to “reuse” the tool and reproduce the results as we did.

A data frame in R can be used to store a table (two dimension) data structure. Unlike matrix, different columns of a data frame can have different data type (like numeric, character, factor, etc.)
