This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.4.0). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility. The version displayed above was the version of the Git repository at the time these results were generated.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:


Ignored files:
    Ignored:    .DS_Store
    Ignored:    .Rhistory
    Ignored:    .Rproj.user/

Untracked files:
    Untracked:  data/pbmc10k/
    Untracked:  data/pbmc5k/

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.


These are the previous versions of the R Markdown and HTML files. If you’ve configured a remote Git repository (see ?wflow_git_remote), click on the hyperlinks in the table below to view them.

Course description :

This two week bioinformatics course run by the FAS Informatics group will cover both fundamental tools and applied methods in bioinformatics. The first week (August 12th-16th) will introduce the basics of programming in R and Python, and provide the foundational tools for the topics covered in week 2. This part assumes no prior (extensive) experience with either R or Python, although we will move fast and some prior exposure (even if limited) will be helpful.

The second week (August 19th - 22nd) will cover common bioinformatic tools and methods. This will include in-depth modules on RNA-seq analysis (including single-cell RNA-seq), read mapping, variant calling, analysis of population genetic data, manipulation of genomic data types (such as ChIP-seq or ATAC-seq peak data) and other topics.

Participation in the first week is not required to participate in the second week if you have a strong background in the required tools (R and/or Python depending on the topic). Participants who attend at least 4 days of the course will have the opportunity to get course credit.

In addition to the sections below, there will be two public seminars for course participants, featuring Dr. John Novembre (University of Chicago) and Dr. Mansi Srivastava (Harvard University).

Please register for all sections below you are intending to participate in. Exact times are to be determined but will be announced as soon as possible.

In order to ensure space for all participants, a no-show fee of $50 will be charged. If you cannot attend a session you are signed for, please contact us at least 12 hours in advance to avoid the fee.
