This repository holds the R Markdown (.Rmd) source files for the PH525x / HarvardX course series (Data Analysis for the Life Sciences / Genomics) managed by GenomicsClass. It functions as the canonical source for course lab exercises, lecture modules, and reading materials in reproducible format. Students and learners use these R Markdown files to follow along, knit notebooks, run code samples, and complete the lab-based assignments. The repo is licensed under MIT, allowing reuse and modification. It is part of a larger ecosystem: the compiled HTML / book version of the labs is published via a companion “book” repository, which presents a polished, browsable version of the materials. The content covers topics such as data wrangling in R, statistical inference, genomics workflows, Bioconductor packages, and project-based analyses. Because it’s open and modular, contributors can suggest improvements, update modules, or add new exercises.
