Some of the topics covered in the workshop are:
- Quality assessment
- Trimming and filtering
- Mapping and read counts

- Over-representation analysis
Who this workshop is for:
This is a beginner-friendly workshop which assumes you are familiar with the basics of R ( e.g., you can copy basic functions like head, tail, or colSums, you are aware of how R stores files as Objects) and bash (e.g., can change directory with cd command, make a new folder with mkdir command, view contents using less command). If you would like a refresher on R you can find one here. If you would like a refresher on bash you can find one here.
