Introduction to R

The workshop offers an introduction to the software "R". Increasingly, physicians and biologists are facing large amounts of data that can no longer be analysed "by hand”. The R environment offers free software facilities for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display. It thus allows handling of large data amounts, simplifies the interpretation of the data, or enables a deeper analysis.

The workshop will take place May 6-8, 2024 online via Zoom.

Agenda: 
Mon, May 6, 10am-4pm:  Programming basics, including syntax, data types, using R studio, importing and exporting data, and data wrangling techniques. 

Tue, May 7, 9am-4pm: Data analysis techniques in R, including correlation analysis, statistical testing and creating visually appealing graphs with ggplot2

Wed, May 8, 9am-1pm (open end): Apply the concepts learned in the previous days to real-world sequencing and SNP data analysis, including creating heatmaps.  
starting from 1pm (optional): Open session to discuss your own research/project and the use of R for it.
