Basic Course in R Programming

Our Basic Course in R is designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in this widely-used and versatile language. Throughout the course, you will learn the fundamentals of R, from data ingestion and storage to analysis and visualization, with a focus on bioinformatics examples. Students will engage in hands-on exercises, group work, and a final project to reinforce their understanding and practical application of R.

Course Details:

The aim of this course is to teach the fundamentals of the R language to a point where participants will feel confident using it in their day-to-day work.

Assuming no prior knowledge, the course will start with the basics and build to describe how data can be ingested, stored, and analysed in R using examples from bioinformatics. The course will involve some group work to solve problems and program algorithms, and will finish with a project (done in your own time) that will consolidate everything learned during the course.

Participants will need a laptop with R and R-studio installed, as coding exercises will be an integral part of the course.

Course Topics:

• Introduction to R and R Studio
• Data types and structures in R
• Data manipulation and transformation
• Visualization
• Flow control
• Functions

Course Fee:

The course fee is 6000 SEK.
