Bioinformatics in R

Bioinformatics integrates core principles from biology, computer sciences, and statistics to extract meaningful information from large-scale genomic data. This course explores the fundamental principles of bioinformatics using the R software environment. Although the course focuses on transcriptomic data analysis, the principles covered can be applied to many other types of large-scale data encountered in the life science industries. Students will gain hands-on experience retrieving information from biological databases, data cleaning for bioinformatic workflows, executing bioinformatic packages, and visualizing genomic data.
