Rbio Data Analysis
An introductory course to transcriptomic data analysis with R.
This course is aimed at basic and clinical researchers, the course will balance theory and hands-on. We will introduce R programming language and Bioconductor packages. We will provide an overview of methods to process, quality control and analyse microarray and RNA sequencing data to identify differentially expressed genes. We will explain how to retrieve published data from major open-access repositories (NCBI, TCGA). We will also introduce participants to Linux environment, statistical methods and R packages for basic machine learning. Finally, we will introduce concepts of pathway analysis and demonstrate means of estimating enrichment of pathways in different experimental conditions using open-access databases. All codes and material from the course will be available to participants online after the course.
This course is part of a series organized by the Bioinformatics Hub Training Platform; Associate Professor Francesca Buffa (Head), Dr Dimitris Voukantsis (Instructor), Dr Naveen Prasaad (Instructor) and Dr Sanjay Rathee (Instructor).
