We are pleased to invite you to the next DZIF bioinformatics workshop: “Introduction to R”. This workshop aims to provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to work with large amounts of data using the R environment, which offers free software facilities for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display.
The workshop will be held online from 15. May to 17. May and will cover a range of topics, including programming basics, the R programming language, Rstudio, data import and export, data wrangling, correlation analysis, statistical tests and presenting data via ggplot2. Additionally, on the final day, we will be conducting a case study focused on the analysis of sequencing and SNP data and the creation of heatmaps.
If there is enough interest on the last afternoon, one can add a session to discuss one's own research/project and how to use R for it.
Learning goals
The goal of this seminar is to provide participants with little or no prior knowledge of working with R data the opportunity to fill in any knowledge gaps they may have and determine whether R can be used in their own research. The topic ranges from basic knowledge to get started to more advanced examples, where you see in real-world research examples how to use R.
