- The assignment involves using RStudio to analyze metagenomics data. Instructions are provided for running things locally, on your laptop, or using the RIS cluster.
Walk through each of the 3 Rmd scripts. Be sure to edit the paths at the beginning of each script as appropriate for your environment! For the first script, send in a screenshot of the error frequency vs quality score graphs. For the second script, what proportion of reads are retained? Look carefully in the console output- it's easy to miss; look for a comment that says "ensuring retained majority of reads". For the third script, send in the abundance comparison venn diagram.
