ISB-CGC Notebooks

What’s a notebook?

Notebooks provide an interface to an interactive analysis environment. They are a mix of code (usually R or Python), descriptive explanations, and visualizations. They’re often used to demonstrate an analysis in a step by step fashion. We provide a set of notebooks below as tutorials for several frequently run analyses. You can run these through Jupyter Lab, R Studio, or Google Colaboratory.
