This course will provide training on using R in genomics applications for crop biodiversity. The first day will cover the basics of biodiversity and R, before analyzing various genomes to assess biodiversity. This will include hierarchical clustering, correlating genomic data with geographic and phenotypic information and investigating gene-phenotype relationships and microsatellites. This course will use genomic data of wheat, maize and chilli pepper as training datasets throughout the week.

This course will be jointly taught by Octavio Martinez de la Vega (LANGEBIO, Cinvestav) and Manuel Humberto Reyes-Valdes (UAAAN).
