Introduction to R and the Tidyverse - SPAAM Summer School: Ancient Metagenomics (2022)
Channel: SPAAM Community
Date: 25/08/2022

Instructors: Clemens Schmid

Abstract: R is an interpreted programming language with a particular focus on data manipulation and analysis. It is very well established for scientific computing and supported by an active community developing and maintaining a huge ecosystem of software packages for both general and highly derived applications.

In this session we will explore how to use R for a simple, standard data science workflow. We will import, clean, and visualise context and summary data for and from our ancient metagenomics analysis workflow. On the way we will learn about the RStudio integrated development environment, dip into the basic logic and syntax of R and finally write some first useful code within the tidyverse framework for tidy, readable and reproducible data analysis.

This session will be targeted at beginners without much previous experience with R or programming and will kickstart your journey to master this powerful tool.
