Biological data analysis with R

Course Overview:

Become an expert on the R statistical environment and how it applies to biological data analysis. With this online course, you will gain valuable skills, such as using R for analyzing diverse data types from very different biological experiments. We will dive into the theoretical aspects of the introduced methodologies, and after that, assignments and activities will provide you with opportunities to explore the practical ways of performing the analysis.

This course is relevant for molecular biologists and will teach you how to perform simple sequence analysis with R. You will get the essential overview of biological network analysis, as well as the highly popular enrichment analysis of gene lists.

 

 

Suggested Background Knowledge: essentials of molecular biology, essentials of evolution, usage of command line, knowledge about biological databases
