Notes
To avoid Zoom-fatigue, we’ll do our best to keep the lectures short and give more time for exercises.
We will be working in R, but we will not learn – nor require – advanced programming. The focus of the course is on the statistical concepts. Please help us to adapt the content to your pre-knowledge by answering the questions in the booking form.
Researchers from all EMBL sites are welcome to participate.
