-> The WSBIM2122 course is a project-based course that teaches the analysis of 
-> quantitative omics data. It is composed of three major parts:
-> - Introductory material about the command line interface, advanced usage of R 
-    markdown for reports and slides, linear models, and utilisation and 
-    interpretation of gene set enrichment and over-representation analyses 
-    (GSEA).
-> - Project 1: analysis and interpretation of RNA-Seq data, including high 
-    throughput sequencing (HTS) data processing.
-> - Project 2: analysis and interpretation of quantitative proteomics, including 
-    mass spectrometry data (MS) and its processing.

-The default setup is for students to work on pre-configured university computers 
-or, if they wish so, to use their own computers. This Renku project will 
-enable them, or anyone who is interested, to use a pre-configured container.
+> The WSBIM1322 course is teaches the basics of statistical data analysis 
+> applied to high throughput biology. It is aimed at biology and biomedical 
+> students that are already familiar with the R langauge (see the pre-requisits 
+> section below). The students will familiarise themselves with statitical 
+> learning concepts such as unsupervised and supervised learning, hypothesis 
+> testing, and extend their understanding and practive in R data structures and
+> programming and the Bioconductor project.
