An implementation of the RP and the closely related Rank Sum (RS) statistics has been available in the RankProd Bioconductor package for several years. However, several recent advances in the understanding of the statistical foundations of the method have made a complete refactoring of the existing package desirable.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We implemented a completely refactored version of the RankProd package, which provides a more principled implementation of the statistics for unpaired datasets.
