Guest lecture | |
| Hi, This week we will have an exciting guest lecturer - Prof. Yaniv Erlich - who will talk about how to store data in DNA and capture criminals. Prof. Erlich led a lab at Columbia University in computational genomics, but decided to come back to Israel a couple of years ago. He currently splits his time between being a founder and the CEO of Eleven Therapeutics, the CSO of MyHeritage, and teaching at IDC. The lecture will take place on zoom **only** and will be between 13:00-14:00. We ask that you make the effort and join the online meeting. Also, please open your camera. I plan to open the zoom session at 12:30, and you are welcome to join and chat about things you would like to ask or share. Best, Dvir |

Please pay attention that the class is very spacious and there is enough room for all the students at the course. After the lecture, you have a tutorial.

A required software for the tutorials and a kind reminder | |
| Dear students, In our course you will be working with biological data and for this purpose, we will use R - programming language, and RStudio, a user-friendly application that allows you to get the best R can give you in data analysis. You are cordially requested to make sure that both R and RStudio are installed on your computer, as we will start learning R at our first tutorial. Please follow the instructions in this link https://rstudio-education.github.io/hopr/starting.html in order to install both R and RStudio. The next stage is packages installation. R packages are similar to libraries in C/C++. Please take a few minutes to understand the concept of packages as described at: https://rstudio-education.github.io/hopr/packages2.html . For our first lessons, you’ll need to install tidyverse collection of packages that includes most of the packages that you’re likely to use in data analyses (such as ggplot2, dplyr, stringr etc.). Install all the packages in the tidyverse by running install.packages("tidyverse") command in the Console window. You can read about different packages in the tidyverse here: https://www.tidyverse.org/packages/ . Please make sure that RStudio is installed at your computer altogether with R and the required packages before the first tutorial to allow you a convenient hands-on experience. Another issue - thanks to everybody who filled up the questionnaire, everyone that didn't manage to do it - please find a few minutes to tell us about yourself and your expectations. Best, Alona |
