Welcome to the 2025 EMBL Australia PhD Course: Introduction to R.
In this two hour session, we will cover the essentials of working with biological data in R, including:
-
Importing and manipulating data
-
performing simple dimension reduction
-
Visualising gene expression using plots such as boxplots and heatmaps and carrying out basic statistical tests
-
Building simple machien learning classifier
This workshop is designed for participants with little or no coding or bioinformatics experience. We will work through the code together, and I encourage you to type out all of the code yourself if possible. Along the way, there will be a few short challenge exercises for you to try.
