R and RNA-seq Courses in February 2025

We are offering a 4 day block course “Hands-on Introduction to R” in February 2025 followed by a 3 day block course “RNA-seq Data Analysis with R”. The “RNA-seq Data Analysis with R” course requires basic knowlege of R or participation in our introductory R course in the week prior to the course.

The pre-registration is open for both February 2025 courses. Links to the forms can be found on our intranet page.

The course „Hands-on Introduction to R“ aims to introduce the R programming language which is used in bioinformatics data analysis and for visualization. The course covers data types, data manipulation such as subsetting and merging, data import and export, statistical analysis and visualizations. No prior knowledge of R or programming is assumed.

The course “RNA-seq Data Analysis with R” introduces R/Bioconductor tools like DESeq2 for normalisation, differential expression, visualisation and the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline and Rsubread for the preprocessing of reads.
