Introduction to R

The workshop offers an introduction to the software "R". Increasingly, physicians and biologists are facing large amounts of data that can no longer be analysed "by hand”. The R environment offers free software facilities for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display. It thus allows handling of large data amounts, simplifies the interpretation of the data, or enables a deeper analysis.

The workshop will take place March 07-09 2022 at the BRICS in Braunschweig or alternatively online if it should not be possible to meet in person, yet (Room 044 is at the end of the first corridor on the left, as you enter from the yellow entrance of the building on Rebenring).

Agenda:
Mon, March 07, 10am-4pm. Programming basics, the R programming language, R studio, data wrangling

Tue, March 08, 9am-4pm. Data import and export, basic plotting with ggplot2: boxplots, barplots, heatmaps, statistical tests, publication ready plots with ggpubr

Wed, March 09, 9am-12pm (open end). Case study: phylogenetic tree reconstruction and visualization

starting from 1pm (optional): Open session, discuss your own projects/data
