Introduction to R/Bioconductor for Sequence Analysis

Seattle, USA

2011-10-17 ~ 2011-10-18

Instructors

  • Martin Morgan
  • Hervé Pagès
  • Marc Carlson
  • Valerie Obenchain
  • Dan Tenenbaum

Description

This course introduces participants to the use of R and Bioconductor for the analysis of high throughput sequence data. Participants are expected to have basic familiarity with R, and with relevant biological domains. Participants can expect to gain a better understanding of how R works, and of the ways in which Bioconductor represents and manipulates sequence data. Participants will gain experience in simple work flows for the analysis of common next-generation sequence experiments.

Installing the course package on your computer

We will use R version 2.14 alpha. To install this version of R, visit (Windows, Mac OS, install from source or binary for Linux).
The course uses additional R and Bioconductor packages. To install these packages, start R and copy and paste the following command into your R session:

source("http://bioconductor.org/scratch-repos/pkgInstall.R")
pkgInstall(c("SeattleIntro2011", "SeattleIntro2011Data"))
Installing R from Source on Ubuntu Linux
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y make libc6-dev gfortran gfortran-4.3 build-essential \
