R tutorial

• • tasks available from web which utilze example data available in R - object assignment, subsetting, plotting, mathematical functions, sorting etc (20 tasks?)
• Usage/interaction within environment
• Bioconductor resources/vignettes(including downloading)
• Bioconductor basics (any resources for limma out there?)

Twenty tasks to do in R

Use a contributed guide as a template fo a list of twenty tasks to do. It must cover;

• R environment

search()              # Give Search Path for R Objects
searchpaths()      # Give Full Search Path for R Objects
ls()                      # List objects
objects()             # alternate function to list objects
rm(list=ls())        # Remove Objects from a Specified Environment
save.image()      # Save R Objects
q()                   # Terminate an R Session →  prompted to Save workspace image? [y/n/c]:
