“Visualization gives you answers to questions you didn’t know you had.” – Ben Shneiderman.
Exploratory data analysis is a critical step in any successful project. Turning raw data into insights requires a clear process: data wrangling to organize and clean the data, exploratory analysis to uncover patterns, and finally, visualization to effectively communicate your findings. This beginner-friendly workshop on Data Wrangling and Visualization in R is designed to guide participants through these essential steps with practical, hands-on examples. No prior programming experience is required. On the first day, we will introduce the R programming language and its fundamental features. The second and third days will focus on mastering data wrangling using the dplyr package and creating customizable, publication-ready plots with ggplot2, specifically tailored to bioinformatics applications. Additionally, the workshop will include an introduction to R Markdown, enabling participants to create reproducible reports that seamlessly combine code, plots, and analysis insights in a single document. By the end of the workshop, participants will have the skills to perform data wrangling with dplyr, create compelling visualizations with ggplot2, and produce reproducible reports using R Markdown, setting a strong foundation for their data analysis projects.
