Big Data in Biology

This week long outreach activity is meant to build students skills using the program R to analyze and graph large datasets from various aspects of Biology. To complete these activities you should have the latest version of R studio. Under each day of the course there are files that you will need to compete the worksheets. These files are mostly open access data for various types of biological data. Each day you will need the .csv files that are linked below for the analysis, and the worksheet for accompanying questions about the analysis.
