Training workshop: Introduction to R

On 10 September REANNZ and Genomics Aotearoa will be delivering an online workshop on Introduction to R. This workshop is open to all New Zealand researchers interested in learning R.

This workshop functions as a prerequisite for the RNA-seq Data Analysis workshop and Visualisation with ggplot2 workshop, and the material provides a basis for many workflows in R.

Date: 10 September

Time: 10:00am-4:00pm NZT

Content: Some of the topics covered in the workshop are:

An introduction to R and RStudio.
R basics: The R language, reading data into R, storing data as objects.
R packages.
Publication-quality data presentation using ggplot2.
Where to get more help when you are ready to do more.

We assume the learner has no prior experience with the tools covered in the workshop. However, learners are expected to have some familiarity with biological concepts.

Setup: This is a fully online, hands-on workshop. This workshop material will be run on the REANNZ High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms - there is no need to install any software for this workshop. Instructions on how to access the REANNZ HPC service will be sent out with the confirmation email to registrants.
