R for Bio Data Science

A tidy approach to wrangling, exploring, visualising and communicating bio data with an emphasis on doing collaborative and reproducible bioinformatics projects

Welcome to R for Bio Data Science

So, you signed up for the 22100/22160 bioinformatics study line course - Congratulations! That was your first step towards getting a set of bio data science skills, which will serve you through your future career regardless of your path!

Inspirational quotes can be cliche, however this one hits the nail on the head:

• “Think about the readability of your code. Every project your work on is fundamentally collaborative. Even if you are not working with any other person, you are always working with future you and you really do not want to be in a situation where future you has no idea what past you was thinking, because past you will not respond to any emails!” Hadley Wickham

Bio Data Science in intrinsically collaborative (even if it’s just you working) and intrinsically interdisciplinary, so collaborative-, reproducibility- and communication- skills are key. In this course, you will learn how to do modern project oriented collaborative bio data science in tidyverse R - Welcome!
