Introduction to R Programming - Replicating Publication Ready Figures with ggplot2

This training is a short introduction to data visualization using R’s ggplot2 package. It is aimed at those with some working knowledge of R, and serves as a natural follow-up to the Introduction to R Programming given in April (https://scda-guide.oist.jp/introduction-to-R.html). However, beginners should still be able to follow the core concepts.

The session will focus on recreating figures from a published paper (more details to come). Depending on time, this may include volcano plots, heatmaps, and Venn diagrams, as well as how to export figures from R.
