[4 half days] - [starts on 06-03-2023 at 09:00] - [English] - [Louvain-la-Neuve]
Do you want to get started with reproducible data analysis with R, one of the most used software for the analysis of high throughput biology data?
R is a free and open-source software. It is one of the most widely used in the bio-medical research field, likely due to the availability of numerous R/Bioconductor packages specifically dedicated to high throughput data.
Training aims
The goal of this training is to initiate wet-lab scientists to reproducible data analysis with R and its RStudio integrated environment, focusing on data manipulation, data visualisation and basic data analysis.
Prerequisites
This training doesn’t require any previous knowledge of R.
Content
- Discovering R, and the RStudio environment
- Importance of tidy data in general and how it translates into dataframes in R
- Data manipulation and analysis using R standard commands and the tidyverse packages
- Data visualisation with ggplot2
