Introduction to R and Biostatistics

This was a semester course for students in the Biomedical Sciences PhD program at the Center for Genomic Sciences (UNAM). To lighten the load, Alejandra Medina Rivera, Osbaldo Resendis Antonio and myself organized it and split the lecture time. In contrast to the High-Throughput Sequencing Analysis with Bioconductor course, students were not required to have any knowledge of R and Biostatistics. This made it challenging at times, but interesting too as we saw how the students progressed over the semester.

Please check the proposed syllabus PDF (Spanish) for the course before proceeding. Below you will find links for the majority of the material, specially by Alejandra Medina Rivera and myself.
