Overview

A genome is the total genetic content of an organism. Driven by breakthroughs such as the decoding of the first human genome and rapid DNA and RNA-sequencing technologies, biomedical sciences are undergoing a rapid & irreversible transformation into a highly data-intensive field, that requires familiarity with concepts in both biological, computational, and statistical sciences.

Genome information is revolutionizing virtually all aspects of life sciences including basic research, medicine, and agriculture. Meanwhile, use of genomic data requires life scientists to be familiar with concepts and skills in biology, computer science, as well as statistics.

This workshop is designed to introduce computational analysis of genomic data through hands-on computational exercises.

Learning goals

By the end of this workshop students will be able to:

  • Visualize genomics data using R & RStudio
  • Perform t-tests, regression analysis, and association tests with R & Rstudio
  • Interpret results of data visualization & statistical analysis
