Description: R Shiny has become one of the most widely used tools in bioinformatics for building interactive data analysis applications—without requiring web development expertise. For researchers, analysts, and students working with high dimensional biological data, Shiny provides a way to turn static analyses into dynamic, user friendly dashboards that make exploration simpler, faster, and more intuitive.
This course is intended to help learners bridge the gap between data analysis and data communication. Instead of generating dozens of plots manually, you can build a Shiny app where users adjust parameters, filter data, and visualize results in real time. This is especially valuable in genomics, where datasets are large, multidimensional, and frequently explored by multidisciplinary teams.
