This online workshop introduces R programming for bioinformatics, equipping participants with essential skills for analyzing biological data. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in the life sciences, the course covers fundamental R programming concepts and their applications in bioinformatics.

The workshop begins with an overview of R and its significance in biological research, followed by core programming concepts such as data structures, functions, and scripting. Participants will be introduced to Bioconductor, a powerful R-based framework for analyzing genomic data, with a focus on sequence analysis. Additionally, the course covers data visualization techniques to help interpret biological datasets effectively.

A hands-on session will provide guided coding exercises, including a warm-up in R, biological sequence analysis, and parsing sequence files such as FASTA and GenBank. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a solid foundation in R for bioinformatics and be able to perform essential data analysis tasks.

No prior programming experience is required. Join us to explore the power of R in bioinformatics!
