Computational Genomics with R provides a starting point for
beginners in genomic data analysis and also guides more advanced
practitioners to sophisticated data analysis techniques in
genomics. The book covers topics from R programming, to machine
learning and statistics, to the latest genomic data analysis
techniques. The text provides accessible information and
explanations, always with the genomics context in the background.
This also contains practical and well-documented examples in R so
readers can analyze their data by simply reusing the code
presented. As the field of computational genomics is
interdisciplinary, it requires different starting points for people
with different backgrounds. For example, a biologist might skip
sections on basic genome biology and start with R programming,
whereas a computer scientist might want to start with genome
biology. After reading: You will have the basics of R and be able
to dive right into specialized uses of R for computational genomics
such as using Bioconductor packages. You will be familiar with
statistics, supervised and unsupervised learning techniques that
are important in data modeling, and exploratory analysis of
high-dimensional data. You will understand genomic intervals and
operations on them that are used for tasks such as aligned read
counting and genomic feature annotation. You will know the basics
of processing and quality checking high-throughput sequencing data.
You will be able to do sequence analysis, such as calculating GC
content for parts of a genome or finding transcription factor
binding sites. You will know about visualization techniques used in
genomics, such as heatmaps, meta-gene plots, and genomic track
visualization. You will be familiar with analysis of different
high-throughput sequencing data sets, such as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq,
and BS-seq. You will know basic techniques for integrating and
interpreting multi-omics datasets. Altuna Akalin is a group leader
and head of the Bioinformatics and Omics Data Science Platform at
the Berlin Institute of Medical Systems Biology, Max Delbruck
Center, Berlin. He has been developing computational methods for
analyzing and integrating large-scale genomics data sets since
2002. He has published an extensive body of work in this area. The
framework for this book grew out of the yearly computational
genomics courses he has been organizing and teaching since 2015.
