Data Analysis with R for Genomics (Aug 2026)

This workshop is designed to help researchers develop practical R skills for analysing and visualising genomic data. Participants will learn how to work confidently with R and RStudio, import and manipulate common genomics file types, explore data using tidyverse tools, and generate clear, publication‑ready visualisations. Through hands‑on exercises and guided examples, this workshop builds a strong foundation for downstream bioinformatics workflows and prepares researchers to engage with more advanced genomics analyses.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand why coding is essential in genomics and how R supports flexible, reproducible bioinformatics workflows.

• Run basic R code, interpret simple R scripts, and apply core programming concepts to genomics‑related tasks.

• Use hands‑on practice to build confidence and begin working with R packages commonly used in bioinformatics.

This workshop runs over two mornings from 9:00 am - 1:00pm (AEST), Thursday 13th August and Friday 14th August, 2026.
