DESCRIPTION:<h3 id="online-workshop-dates-and-times"><strong>Online Workshop dates and times:</strong></h3><p><strong>Friday, November 14, 2025</strong>: 9:30 AM - 12 PM</p><p><strong>Tuesday, November 18, 2025</strong>: 9:30 AM - 12 PM</p><p><strong>Friday, November 21, 2025</strong>: 9:30 AM - 12 PM</p><p>NOTE: Workshop dates are subject to change - please check back!</p><p><em>Instruction will be mostly learner-centric, requiring a time commitment between the workshop sessions!</em></p><hr><h3 id="description"><strong>Description:</strong></h3><p>Rigorous science requires that the science is reproducible. However, investigations of bioinformatics approaches have found that results are oftentimes difficult to reproduce. Therefore, in this hands-on workshop we will:</p><ul><li>Implement git to handle version control</li><li>Use GitHub and GitHub Desktop to store and distribute your code</li><li>Employ RMarkdown for creating reports</li></ul><hr><h3 id="prerequisites"><strong>Prerequisites:</strong></h3><p>This is one of our advanced <a href="https://hbctraining.github.io/main/">workshops</a>, and assumes that users have a working knowledge of coding with R or have attended the following <strong>Basic workshop</strong> offered by our training team in the last 6-8 months:</p><ul><li><a href="https://hbctraining.github.io/main/registrations/AllFunders_Intro-to-R">Introduction to R</a></li></ul><p>There is an expectation of participants to have some/all of the following programming knowledge:</p><ul><li>Solid understanding of <strong>data structures</strong> and fluent implementation of <strong>basic syntax</strong> in R.</li><li>Ability to use <strong>functions</strong> regularly and can modify arguments when necessary.</li><li>Comfortable <strong>installing packages and troubleshooting</strong> issues.</li><li><strong>Data wrangling</strong> expertise (subsetting vectors and data frames) using base R or tidyverse</li><li>Familiarity with ggplot2 for <strong>data visualization</strong>.</li></ul><p><strong>I am fluent in R but have not attended the HBC prerequisite workshop, can I still register?</strong></p><p>Yes, please register and provide your R/programming exerience on the form, and we’ll get back to you.</p>
