Requirements

There will be lots of hands on exercises in R throughout the workshop. Therefore it is paramount that all participants are comfortable with R and RStudio. You do not have to be fluent in R but you need to be able to understand simple R scripts and are able to install libraries. Furthremore, it would help if you have experience with markdown or Rmarkdown.


You need a computer with R (version > 3.6) installed.


You also need internet access during the course. If you are not a student / researcher of ETH or you do not have a NETHZ guest account you can access wi-fi using your eduroam account.


It is also important that you have the following R packages installed and ready:


CRAN packages
# Bioconductor version: 3.8
BiocManager::install("phyloseq", version = "3.8")


Bioconductor packages
# Bioconductor version: <= 3.7
