RNAseq_short (short course)

The Course

This course introduces some of the fundamental concepts and tools of RNA-seq analysis in R/Bioconductor. This course is a shortened version of our full course. Each section is presented as both HTMl and Rpres markdown to allow for intergration of the presentation in the RStudio enviroment itself. Exercises and answer sheets are included after all subsections to practice techniques and provide future reference examples.

Course material and exercises are available to view as rendered HTML slides or single page HTML at https://lmsbioinformatics.github.io/LMS_RNAseq_short/ All material is available to download under GPL v3 license.

Install required packages.

Having downloaded R and RStudio, some additional packages are required (rmarkdown and ggplot2).
To install these,

• First launch RStudio
• Install the packages in the R console if R version > 3.5.0

  if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
      install.packages("BiocManager")
  
  BiocManager::install(c("DESeq2","goseq","RColorBrewer","ggplot2",
  "pheatmap","KEGG.db","org.Mm.eg.db","biomaRt"))
  

• Install the packages in the R console if R version <= 3.5.0

  source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
  biocLite("DESeq2")
  biocLite("goseq")
  biocLite("RColorBrewer")
  biocLite("ggplot2")
  biocLite("pheatmap")
  biocLite("KEGG.db")
  biocLite("org.Mm.eg.db")
  biocLite("biomaRt")
