-R is a powerful programming language and software environment widely used for statistical analysis, data visualization, and machine learning. It provides a vast array of tools and libraries that make it a popular choice among data scientists, statisticians, and researchers.
+Repository for the Bioinformatics Lab's basic R programming tutorial
 
-R excels in statistical analysis and is equipped with a rich set of functions for descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, time series analysis, and multivariate techniques. This makes it a preferred choice for researchers and analysts working with data from various fields, such as social sciences, finance, healthcare, and environmental studies.
+The tutorial materials can be viewed at [https://bioinfodlsu.com/basic-r-tutorial/](https://bioinfodlsu.com/basic-r-tutorial/)
 
-Moreover, R offers exceptional data visualization capabilities. Its default plotting system allows users to create a wide variety of static and interactive visualizations to explore and present data effectively. Additionally, packages like [`ggplot2`](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/) provide a grammar of graphics approach, enabling users to construct complex and customizable plots with ease.
-
-In recent years, R has gained popularity in the field of machine learning. Packages such as [`caret`](https://topepo.github.io/caret/), [`randomForest`](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/randomForest/versions/4.7-1.2), and [`keras`](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/keras/vignettes/) offer powerful tools for building and evaluating predictive models. R's integration with other languages, such as Python, allows users to leverage popular machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow and scikit-learn within their R workflow.

-## 📢 Before Starting
-
-1. Download and install both **R** and **RStudio**: https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/
-1. This tutorial uses R markdown files. Kindly refer to this video on how to work with R markdown files on RStudio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNS7i2m4sB0
-1. Download this [file](https://github.com/bioinfodlsu/basic-r-tutorial/blob/main/phages.tsv) (`phages.tsv`), and place it inside the same folder as the R markdown files that you will be creating in this tutorial.
-
-## 📜 Topic Outline
-
-**R markdown** files (second column) can be directly opened and run on RStudio. However, when opened on GitHub, only the raw code is displayed and outputs (e.g., tables and plots) are stripped.
-
-**GitHub markdown** files (third column) cannot be directly opened and run on RStudio. However, GitHub displays them nicely while also preserving the outputs.
