A basic guide to trouble shooting problems with #rstats
(A thread for my students and others new to R)

Something in R not working? Weird error message?
Go through this list of steps to try to resolve the problem. [thread; suggestions & other tips highly welcome]
@DimperioJane 1) Did you run a line of code without a ")" at the end?

Look at your code in the console. Is there a little "+" at the far left? R is probably waiting for a complete line of code. Click into the console, press ESC, add the ")", and try again

I've compiled a short list of #rstats -based #bioinformatics and computational biology books and tutorials. (THREAD)
1/n A cool-looking freebie: "A Little Book of R for Bioinformatics!" by Avril Coglan
…f-r-for-bioinformatics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Topics include: Alignment, Multiple alignment, phylo trees, gene finding, comparative genomics, HMM, protein-protein interactions
All #rstats code in the document.

I need to teach get ~40 new #rstats students up and running with #RStudio and using #rmarkdown. Here's some resources I'm looking checking out for use in my class
1/n "Introduction to R Markdown" by Michael Clark has good overview information on #rmarkdown
