Contents:
The aim of Data Carpentry is to enable researchers to learn about the computational skills needed for data management and analysis in all domains of research. This 2-day workshop will consist of hands-on workshop sessions on high-quality, domain-specific training covering the full lifecycle of data-driven research. In this course, we will use genomics dataset as a case-study.

Topics covered include:
- Data organization and cleaning
- Introduction to Unix/Shell
- Data wrangling and pipeline/workflow
- Introduction to R
- Using R, Unix/Shell and cloud for genomics

Learning goals:
This course aims to teach data organization, cleaning and exploration skills to researchers in computational biology who wish to analyze data, and to introduce a toolset that can help them in their work.

Prerequisites:
The target student will know a little bit of command line/programmatic computer usage, but not consider themselves a data expert.

Keywords:
R, Unix, Shell, Workflow

Tools:
R, Unix, Shell
