Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.

Content

This bioinformatics course will focus on the following themes:

• Improvement of R programming
• Experimental designs using in omics analyses.
• Omics data transformation and visualisation.
• Multivariate data exploration and analysis.

Teaching methods

The course will be composed of practical sessions, during which the students will implement solutions to data analysis problems using the R programming language and the RStudio development environment, and will use the unix command line. Tests will be organised on a regular basis to allow for students to assess their learning throughout the course.
Course attendance to all sessions (volume 1 and 2) is mandatory. 

Evaluation methods

The final exam will be practical and computer-based; the students will prepare a reproducible report in Rmd using RStudio answering exam questions addressing small scale data analysis task similar to those presented during the course.
