This course aims to provide and equip students with the knowledge of statistics and computational tools needed to independently complete genomic medicine research. This module complements the knowledge from the wider course to ensure all students are competent in planning research, and can perform appropriate statistical analysis in R. The module is designed to prepare students for research projects and presents materials in this context. This module serves as an informatics foundation for students learnig bioinformatics and statistical languages.

In particular, the module introduces students to the Genomics England Research Environment, and provides both self-directed, and supervised learning of the Unix command line environment and the R statistics language. This module provides an excellent foundation for performing a research project on the Genomics England 100,000 genomes data and for students considering undertaking a PhD in future years.
