Course Details

Biological research from the past few decades has largely become a data driven science. Analysis and visualization of data has become extremely important. R is now one of the important programming languages used to perform statistical analysis and visualization of biological data. It is an open source programming language. The course is suitably designed for students without having a computing and as well as a programming knowledge.

Career Options

Programming has become indispensable for scientific research. The computational biologist with knowledge of R scripting language can efficiently harness the power R in analysis and visualization of biological data.
