Course Overview


This course introduces the Bioconductor set of R packages.

The course consists of multiple sections, the first section introduces Bioconductor and remaining sections discuss the handling of Genomics data and metadata in R using Bioconductor packages. Each section is presented as HTMl presentations or single page document. Exercises and answer sheets are included after all subsections to practice techniques and provide future reference examples..

Course material and exercises are available to view as rendered HTML at https://rockefelleruniversity.github.io/Bioconductor_Introduction/. All material is available to download under GPL v2 license.
