R Crash Course for Biologists: An introduction to R for bioinformatics and biostatistics

This book is written for biologists, from undergraduate students to seasoned professionals, who wish to develop coding skills for the management, visualization and analysis of biological data. Coding and quantitative skills are critical for all areas of biological inquiry, yet many biology programs do not emphasize training in math, statistics, and computer science. This book tries to demystify coding, using a hands-on tutorial style without too much technical jargon. As such, it should be useful to current students, recent graduates, and working professionals who have not received formal training in mathematics and computer science at the university level.
