R-programing Journey 2021

Welcome! Greetings and welcome to the write up of muMotif package. Github link to muMotif:  https://github.com/Ant-nguyen/RmuMotif This was a final project for our R programming course, the goal of this package is to provide some tools that can help one look up motifs in DNA sequences. Motifs can be thought as patterns or hidden messages that standout in DNA. Motifs can be useful for narrowing down on regions of interest in large DNA sequences.  Much of the logic and principles of motif search were inspired by:  https://www.bioinformaticsalgorithms.org/ Throughout this blog I hope to explain the concepts and though processes behind the package, if you find some of these concepts interesting or if my explanation is lacking I highly recommend the link above. Let us begin! Quick Tour: MuMotif is a package of functions that help allow one to find motifs in strings of DNA. The package is also set up to allow for quick visualization of some of the results. There are two broad s...

This week we will be working with R Markdown and exploring some of the functions and format of R Markdown. Our assignment this week is simply to make an R Markdown file and play around with some of the features in order for us to use R Markdown in the future to present R input and output neatly.  GitHub link:  https://github.com/Ant-nguyen/Intro_r_2021/blob/main/Module%2012.Rmd Let us begin ! First we have to make a .rmd file. This is very simple in RStudio, where all we have to do is create an R markdown file, much like when creating a new script or project in RStudio. From here we are prompt what we want to name this file, and the desired output type. R Markdown can produce many different document types, this includes HTML,pdf ,word docs and many more. Here I decided to simply do HTML . One thing to note about creating R Markdown with RStudio is that they automatically include a little write up about what is R Markdown and some examples of its feature.  I removed this f...
