Postdoctoral Positions

We occasionally have open positions for postdoctoral fellows in the areas of comparative genomics, population genomics, genome assembly, and phylogenetics. Currently our grant-funded work includes research on the convergent evolution of brood parasitism in birds, as well as research on methods for detecting …

This is a review of some R basics.

This is a basic introduction to the R programming language. The tutorial is not specific to Linux or the Cannon cluster.
