Difference Between R and RStudio


RStudio doesn’t know where libraries are installed, when they are not installed through the RStudio package manager. To tell RStudio the location, you can define the path in a startup file. Create a file called .Renviron . Inside there:

R_LIBS=<R Library Path of other installed packages>

That was the problem when students installed things in RStudio at the command line using the R command install.package().

… or you could use the package manger to install libraries.

Syntax highlighting


… of scripts in the R editor does not seem to work under Windows. If you want highlighted syntax, use RStudio instead.

Pre-workshop Readings

Before coming to the workshop read these:

Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV): high-performance genomics data visualization and exploration

Differential gene and transcript expression analysis of RNA-seq experiments with TopHat and Cufflinks

ENCODE RNA-Seq Standards

Methods to study splicing from high-throughput RNA sequencing data

Differential analysis of gene regulation at transcript resolution with RNA-seq

A comprehensive assessment of RNA-seq accuracy, reproducibility and information content by the Sequencing Quality Control Consortium

Recurrent chimeric RNAs enriched in human prostate cancer identified by deep sequencing

Pre-Workshop Tutorials

1) R Preparation tutorials: You are expected to have completed the following tutorials in R beforehand. The tutorial should be very accessible even if you have never used R before.

2) UNIX Preparation tutorials:

3) IGV Tutorial: Review how to use IGV Genome Browser if you have not used this tool before.

4) Sequencing Terminology
