Cytometry in R - Week # 2 - File Paths

[UMGCCCFCSR]

Hello All,

Course materials for "Cytometry in R - Week # 2 - File Paths" are now available via the course website and GitHub repository. If you recently added your name to the email list, see here for previous course emails.

This week we will be working with file paths within a project-oriented manner, learning how to communicate to our computer where to find our experiment files. In the process, we will also cover additional concepts of R programming generally, including how to create/name variables, indexing, and matching character string patterns to subset list of files.

If you haven't started the pre-course walk-throughs, there is still time. The material we will cover this week will continue starting from where GitHub account and Workstation Setup left off (software installation). Having read-through how to use version control with Git will additionally be useful.

If you have completed the pre-course walkthroughs, navigate to your CytometryInR repository, and sync the fork to retrieve the new material from the parent repository. Once this is done, pull the changes into your local CytometryInR folder. See here for additional setup instructions for this week.

Remember, you only need to attend 1 session per week (all other days repeat the same material). For those attending in-person (ie, Baltimore locals), sessions will be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 4 PM EST. We will be meeting in Bressler Research Building 7-035 (around the corner from the Flow Core). For those joining remotely, there will be three online live-streams offered via our YouTube channel , on Tuesday 2200 EST (Wednesday 0300 GMT+0), Wednesday 1600 EST (Wednesday 2100 GMT+0) and Thursday 1000 EST (Thursday 1500 GMT+0). Recordings will be available immediately after.

The Discussions page is now open if you have questions, or would like to discuss the topics in greater depth with other participants.

We are looking forward to seeing you at some point this week (whether in-person or online)

Best Wishes-
David
