The scripting language R is considered one of the most powerful languages for quantitative analysis, statistics, and graphics. This workshop will help you get started using R to analyze your datasets and create graphs for visualization. You’ll do hands-on exercises to demystify data analysis using R.

This workshop is designed for those who have no background whatsoever in programming/R. You can learn about ggplot2, seurat, dplyr, etc. in our intermediate-level workshops.

You’ll learn:

  • RStudio interface
  • Addition, subtraction, basic math operations
  • Assigning values to variables
  • Commenting in a script
  • Logical operators
  • Intro to functions and libraries
  • Reading data
  • Troubleshooting error messages
  • Exploring data (basic summaries such as mean, median, etc.)
  • Selecting subsets of data
  • Plotting data
  • Data structures available in R

No background in statistics or computing is necessary. Have your laptop ready with RStudio and R installed.

The Gladstone Data Science Training Program was started in 2018 to provide trainees with learning opportunities and hands-on workshops to improve their skills in bioinformatics and computational analysis. This program offers a series of workshops throughout the year to enable trainees to gain new skills and get support with their questions and data.
