Congratulations on your selection for E²M²!

R Tutorials

Please make sure to work through the Intro Tutorials before the workshop.

Software installations

For those selected for participation in E²M², we ask that you please begin to familiarize yourself with the computer programs that will be used at the workshop in advance of arrival. If you will be bringing a personal laptop to the workshop, please be sure that the following programs are installed and working:

• Excel, or a compatible spreadsheet software such as Google Spreadsheets
• R – a statistical programming language (Windows, Linux, and MacOS)
• R Studio – a user interface for R that will be needed for computer exercises
• MEGA: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis - a tool for aligning sequences and building phylogenies.

If you will not be bringing your own computer to the workshop, we will still expect you to complete the preparatory tutorials in R, so please locate a computer in your area on which you can install and begin these tutorials.
