TeachingMaterial

This repository is an aggregator for various R, make and git/github teaching material. Most of the courses are taught at the University of Cambridge, UK, and some have been adapted and exported outside. We would also like to acknowledge contributions from Aleksandra Pawlik, Software Sustainability Institute, Raphael Gottardo, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Karl Broman, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Each material subdirectory has its own repository; TeachingMaterial aggregates a snapshot as a central entry point. Aggregation is done using git-subtree (see the administration page for details). The local copies linking to external repositories are prefixed with an underscore.

Material

Mass spectrometry and proteomics using R/Bioconductor

  • Description: In this course, we will use R/Bioconductor packages to explore, process, visualise and understand mass spectrometry-based proteomics data, starting with raw data, and proceeding with identification and quantitation data, discussing some of their peculiarities compared to sequencing data along the way. The workflow is aimed at a beginner to intermediate level, such as, for example, seasoned R users who want to get started with mass spectrometry and proteomics, or proteomics practitioners who want to familiarise themselves with R and Bioconductor infrastructure.

Visualising biomolecular data

  • Description: This Visualisation of biomolecular data course is aimed at people who are already familiar with the R language and syntax, and who would like to get a hands-on introduction to visualisation, with a focus on biomolecular data in general, and proteomics in particular. This course is meant to be mostly hands-on, with an intuitive understanding of the underlying techniques.

A gentle introduction to git and Github

Introduction to bioinformatics and data science

  • Description: The WSBIM1207 course is an introduction to bioinformatics (and data science) for biology and biomedical students. It introduces bioinformatics methodology and technologies without relying on any prerequisites. The aim of this course is for students to be in a position to understand important notions of bioinformatics and tackle simple bioinformatics-related problems in R, in particular to develope simple R analysis scripts and reproducible analysis reports to interogate, visualise and understand data in a tidy tabular format.

Bioinformatics

  • Description: The WSBIM1322 course is teaches the basics of statistical data analysis applied to high throughput biology. It is aimed at biology and biomedical students that are already familiar with the R langauge (see the pre-requisits section below). The students will familiarise themselves with statitical learning concepts such as unsupervised and supervised learning, hypothesis testing, and extend their understanding and practive in R data structures and programming and the Bioconductor project.

Best practices in bioinformatics research: open source software and reproducibility

  • Description: A short course for a Bioinformatics minor at the University of Cambridge. What is open science (data, source/code, access), and how can we enable it? What is reproducible research, and why do we need it and how can we implement it? The objective is to familiarise students with concepts and tools of open science and reproducible research.

Statistics primer

  • Description: A short course for a Bioinformatics minor at the University of Cambridge. Introducing basic concepts in statistics: experimental design, randomisation, technical and biological variation, power analysis, hypothesis testing, confidence interval, what is a p-value, false discovery rate, multiple testing adjustment, dangers of uninformed statistical practice. The objective is familiarise students with basic statistical concepts and initiate them to statistical thinking. They should be able to critically assess an experimental design and the reporting of a simple statistical analysis.

An Introduction to Machine Learning with R

  • Description: This introductory workshop on machine learning with R is aimed at participants who are not experts in machine learning (introductory material will be presented as part of the course), but have some familiarity with scripting in general and R in particular. The workshop will offer a hands-on overview of typical machine learning applications in R, including unsupervised (clustering, such as hierarchical and k-means clustering, and dimensionality reduction, such as principal component analysis) and supervised (classification and regression, such as K-nearest neighbour and linear regression) methods. We will also address questions such as model selection using cross-validation.
