Introduction to Bioconductor In-Person
This course is intended for those with some R programming experience and a desire to use R for bioinformatics. This is not an introduction to R programming or to bioinformatics. If you have taken Intro to R or the R Software Carpentry workshop, you should meet the R programming requirements.
Class objectives:
Objective 1: Use Bioconductor packages for obtaining omics data from public repositories
Objective 2: Go through common workflows for annotating DNA variants and for RNA-seq analysis
In order to be successful in this class, you must meet these requirements before the class starts:
- Be able to install and load packages, use package functions and help files, read, write and manipulate data, use conditional expressions and write simple functions.
- Have R installed and working (instructions)
- Have RStudio installed and working (instructions)
- Have Bioconductor installed and working (instructions)
Please meet each of these requirements before the start of the class. There will be no time alotted for software installation.
