R for Biological Data Analysis Research Project
Research mentor: Dr. Lokender Kumar
4.0
Work a biological dataset through R from import to finished figure. You learn the language on real examples and produce your own cleaned dataset, analysis script and publication-style plots.
Explore free modules at no cost to see if this research project matches your learning goals.
Project Objectives
Introduce the R Programming Environment:
Familiarize learners with the R interface, history, installation, and fundamental concepts relevant to biological data analysis.
Develop Basic Programming Competence:
Enable students to write and execute simple R commands, perform data operations, and manipulate biological datasets using vectors, matrices, and data frames.
Promote Analytical Thinking in Biotechnology:
Equip learners with the ability to apply R for basic statistical calculations and exploration of biological data trends.
Build Foundational Visualization Skills:
Train participants to create and customize basic plots—such as scatter plots, line charts, histograms, and boxplots—for interpreting and presenting experimental results effectively.
