B1001 Laboratory 6 - Biological Data for Computers 2 This week ’ s lab is the first of two new labs on data visualization and quantitative training. Quantitative training refers to computational biology, data science, electronic data archiving, data cleaning and manipulation, statistics, mathematical modelling, effective data visualization (including maps and phylogenies), and interpretation of graphs and figures. Do not let these terms scare you. They only sound scary and you will only be covering the material at the most introductory level. In this lab we simply want to introduce you to the basics of using R and RStudio. R is a software environment for statistical computing and graphics. RStudio is a graphical interface software package which works in conjunction with R. Both will run on a Windows, Mac or Unix machine, but not on a tablet. (You may use RStudio Cloud as an alternative to downloading the software). Follow this link BIOL 1001 - Quantitative skills to begin this week ’ s lab. As you read through this webpage you will be directed, through a number of hyperlinks to the “ Quantitative skills for biology ” guide (https://ahurford.github.io/quant-guide-all-courses/ ). As you follow the links you will work through Chapters 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 in the “ Quantitative skills for biology ” guide. Follow all instructions and links. Make sure to complete the TRY IT! , EXERCISE and HAND IN activities. (Many of these have been included in this week ’ s assignment.) We also want you to cover Chapter 9 “ Making graphs in R ” in the “ Quantitative skills for biology ” guide in addition to the chapters mentioned above. LABORATORY 6 – BIOLOGICAL DATA I

B1001 Laboratory 6 - Biological Data for Computers 3 For this week’s lab assignment download and complete “Lab 6 Worksheet “ which is in the Laboratory 6 – Biological Data folder. All the questions in the worksheet come from the TRY IT! , EXERCISE and HAND IN activities found within Chapters 4 and 9 of the “ Quantitative skills for biology ” guide HINT: During this lab it is important to have RStudio (or RStudio Cloud), the “ Quantitative skills for biology ” guide and the Lab 6 Worksheet all open on your computer at the same time. If you have questions about downloading, installing or using R and RStudio you can turn to: - Your Lab Instructor - Your classmates by way of the “ Discussions ” threads found under the Communication tab on the course Brightspace page. - Google – almost any problem or question concerning the use of a piece of software such as R can be googled and will result in hundreds of pages of responses.

RStudio Layout - Data Analysis with R - YouTube This video is part of an online course, Data Analysis with R. Check out the course here: https://www.udacity.com/course /ud651 . Also watch the pre-lab talk recorded by Prof. Yolanda Wiersma posted in the Lab 6 folder. (This video was recorded for the spring 2020 semester so please disregard the references to ” Lab 2 ” and ” Lab 3 ” . This semester these labs have been renumbered as Labs 6 and 7. Dr. Wiersma and T.A. Joany Mariñ o will not be involved in the “ R Labs ” this semester. Instead all office hours will be held with your lab instructor and teaching assistants. Notes For Next Week In preparation for your second quantitative lab, next week, you will need to read; “ Quantitative skills for biology ” guide Chapters 5 - 8 Campbell Biology: Third Canadian Edition (2021) Interpreting a Pair of Bar Graphs (p. 22) Interpreting a Scatter Plot with a Regression Line (p. 58) Making a Bar Graph and Evaluating a Hypothesis (p. 190) Identifying Independent and Dependent Variables, Making a Scatter Plot and Interpreting Data (pg. 543)
