  Summary: R and Matlab are two high-level scientific programming languages
which are frequently applied in computational biology. To extend the wide
variety of available and approved implementations, we present the Rcall
interface which runs in MATLAB and provides direct access to methods and
software packages implemented in R. Rcall involves passing the relevant data to
R, executing the specified R commands and forwarding the results to MATLAB for
further use. The evaluation and conversion of the basic data types in R and
MATLAB are provided. Due to the easy embedding of R facilities, Rcall greatly
extends the functionality of the MATLAB programming language.
  Availability: Source code is freely available at
https://github.com/kreutz-lab/Rcall, implemented in MATLAB and supported on
Linux, MS Windows and Mac OS X.
