MSc Genomic Approaches to Drug Discovery - Bioinformatics Module
This is the homepage for the Bioinformatics Module of MSc in Genomic Approaches to Drug Discovery at The University of Sheffield. Here you will find links to the course materials, software installation instructions, links to data required for the practicals and relevant references
Overview
Software Installation
You will need to bring an internet-enabled laptop to the course and install the latest versions of both R and RStudio before coming to the course
Windows
Install R by downloading and running this .exe file from CRAN. Also, please install the RStudio IDE. Note that if you have separate user and admin accounts, you should run the installers as administrator (right-click on .exe file and select “Run as administrator” instead of double-clicking). Otherwise problems may occur later, for example when installing R packages.
Mac

Linux
You can download the binary files for your distribution from CRAN. Or you can use your package manager (e.g. for Debian/Ubuntu run sudo apt-get install r-base and for Fedora run sudo yum install R). Also, please install free the RStudio IDE.
Data Download
A example dataset and blank R markdown file to make note are avialable from this link. Please down and extract the zip file into a folder that you wish to work in.
