Introduction to Bioconductor

1. Congratulations!

Congratulations for getting through the “Introduction to Bioconductor” course! You have made great progress in understanding the structure of biological elements by using some of the most used Bioconductor packages.

2. You learned...

In this course, you learned how to install packages from Bioconductor by using the BiocInstaller package. You learned basic techniques for reading, manipulating and filtering raw genomic data using BioStrings, GenomicRanges, and ShortRead. You worked with BSgenome and TxDb built-in datasets. Then used these to identify patterns by using matching functions. Finally, you were able to check the quality of sequence files using ShortRead and Rqc.

3. You explored

In addition to learning how to use these Bioconductor packages, you explored a variety of organisms like fungi, viruses, humans, and plants! The aim of demonstrating Bioconductor functionality with real examples is for you to reuse the concepts, containers, and functions, and apply those to your own biological datasets.

4. Keep learning!

Nonetheless, it was super fun walking through your first steps with this fantastic resource, the Bioconductor project. If you would like to continue your learning using R for bioinformatics, feel free to explore other Bioconductor courses at DataCamp.
