Intro to R for Bioinformatics (In-Person)

Registration is required. Click here to register.

This is an introduction to R designed for participants with no programming experience. We will start with some basic information about R syntax, and the RStudio interface (download from here before the workshop), and move through basic data types and format, how and why create R objects, deal with functions, arguments, packages, and finally the structure of data frames, manipulate rows and columns, how to import .csv files.

Note: This is a good introductory class before attending the workshop on how to run a differential gene expression analysis using the package “DESeq2”, on Jan. 25th.

This workshop is designed for biomedical researchers with none to minimal knowledge of command language or R programming.

You will learn how to:

• Basic data format and type in R
• Base R functions
• Basic data manipulation and inspection
• Install R package such as Readr
• Import .csv files using function read.csv()
