### COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This class is a an introduction to methods and tools for biomedical data analysis. The course will introduce basic and intermediate bioinformatics and statistical analyses for high-throughput biology, including sequencing data preprocessing and quality control, genome-wide association studies, gene expression and proteomics, epigenetics, metagenomics, and imaging data analysis. We will describe relevant methods and procedures for each context, and practice and apply code in each case. Examples will come from a variety of applications from molecular biology and biomedical research. Students be expected to use R and GitHub throughout this course.

### PREREQUISITES
A working knowledge and experience with R is required. We recommend that students complete MBGC 5002Q and prior to registering for this course, or have equivalent experience. An introductory course in statistics, biostatistics, or equivalent experience in statistical analysis is also recommended (e.g., GSND 5135Q or MSBS N5030). Students without sufficient coding or statistics experience will need to obtain these skills before the course. Please contact Dr. Johnson to obtain a list of the required proficiencies and asynchronous resources available to obtain the needed programming or statistics skills.

### COURSE FORMAT:
This class will be taught virtually using a synchronous remote modality, although students will be provided a classroom to gather for each lecture. A co-instructor will be present in the classroom for each lecture. Class will occur Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00am-11:50am. Courses may also be recorded and made available for students who need to miss classes due to personal reasons, illness, or research related needs.
