Data transformation with R tidyverse

6 - 8 February 2026 Three days, Belval campus Register here

Overview

Data transformation (“data wrangling”) is the process of preparing raw data for analysis.

Data wrangling includes cleaning (handling missing values, removing outliers), restructuring (consistent naming of variables, formatting), calculating derived variables, and generally ensuring we have consistent, well-organised data.

Data wrangling will often be the most time-consuming part of any analysis and it is a fundamental aspect of bioinformatics.

This course for data analysts focusses on applications of ideas in the tidyverse. It will be held the first time in February 2026.

This course replaces the R tidyverse workshop previously held from 2017 to 2025.
