A Biologist's Guide to Programming and Data Analysis with R and BASH

Thursday, February 17, 2022

5:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Virtual

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about biological data analysis with R and Unix/Linux tools, with a focus on techniques for creating modular R and BASH scripts.

Given the increasing amount of data being generated today, programmatic data analysis is an important skill for a wide range of fields. The R programming language and Unix/Linux command line can be powerful tools for analyzing data. Even more powerfully, the huge variety of R and command line tools can be used together with scripting to create custom pipelines to analyze large or complex data sets.

This workshop begins with an introduction to best practices in both programming and data analysis, includes a walkthrough of essential programming and scripting techniques for biological data analysis automation using R and Unix/Linux tools.

Prerequisites

  1. No prior programming or data analysis experience is required.
  2. Please install RStudio in advance of the session.
  3. Also, for Windows 10 users (not applicable for Mac users), please install the Ubuntu terminal.
