The aim of this course is to introduce participants to the statistical computing language 'R' using examples and skills relevant to genomic data science. This two day workshop is taught by experienced Edinburgh Genomics’ bioinformaticians and trainers. By the end of the workshop, you will be comfortable with the basics of the R and R studio environments, learning about the rules of the language and how R works with different data types. We then move on to using functions, including those specific to genomic science. We look at how to handle various genomic data files and where to find relevant tools via online resources. Finally we use mock RNA-seq data to learn how to visualise your data to generate publication ready plots using the package ggplot2.
