Motivation:

The scientific computing platform (and programming language) R was originally designed for statistical analyses, but it has quickly emerged as a de facto standard in bioinformatics. It is also rapidly gaining importance in machine learning and many other fields. So R is definitely a platform of the future. To know R well is a great plus in machine learning and it is even a must in bioinformatics.

The course is divided into two parts:

1. The R platform and programming language

  • Introduction
  • The R programming language
  • R graphics
  • Sweave
  • Object-oriented programming in R
  • Foreign language interfaces
  • Packaging

2. Applications in bioinformatics

  • Bioconductor
  • Sequence handling and alignment
  • Phylogeny
  • Analyzing gene expression data
  • Genome analysis
