Checks: 2 0

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.5.0). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility. The version displayed above was the version of the Git repository at the time these results were generated.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:


Ignored files:
    Ignored:    .Rhistory

Untracked files:
    Untracked:  analysis/conda.Rmd
    Untracked:  analysis/docker.Rmd
    Untracked:  analysis/teeth.Rmd
    Untracked:  analysis/workflowr.Rmd
    Untracked:  data/teeth.csv

Unstaged changes:
    Deleted:    assets/new_rmarkdown.png

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.


These are the previous versions of the R Markdown and HTML files. If you’ve configured a remote Git repository (see ?wflow_git_remote), click on the hyperlinks in the table below to view them.

This workshop will discuss guidelines for ensuring reproducibility in bioinformatic data analysis and demonstrate how we can adhere to these guidelines through the use of various computational tools. You will be introduced to Conda and Docker and shown how they can be used to simplify the deployment of bioinformatics tools and create isolated software environments ensuring that analyses can be reproduced. The workshop will also discuss approaches for organising computational projects using the workflowr R package. By the end of the workshop, you will have learned some ideas behind carrying out reproducible research and can better communicate and share your work in a reproducible manner.
