Additional information

Course websites

The main place to access information about this course is this github.io website. I will only use the CarmenCanvas site for this course for announcements and as a place to share some files with you.

No R in the course

I’ve had to remove the modules on R while transitioning this course from 3-credit full-semester to 2-credit half-semester. If this is disappointing to you and you want to learn R at OSU, I can recommend the weekly Code Club meeting that I co-organize. And if you’re also interested in microbial metabarcoding data, or would like to learn how you can use R in a bioinformatics/omics data context, contact Plant Pathology professor Soledad Benitez-Ponce to sign up for a metabarcoding workshop during Spring break from March 13th-15th.

Glossary

If some of the terms in the description of the course material are unfamiliar to you, take a look at the glossary page of this website. Of course, you will learn a lot more about these terms and concepts during the course!
