Title: Building and publishing R packages: lessons learnt while turning code snippets into DepecheR

Description: In this session, we will discuss the reasons behind, and a way to, creating your own R package, through the eyes of a medic-and-devout-cytometrist-turned-BioConductor maintainer. We will also discuss parallelizing code, the BioConductor review process, and get into some detail about the DepecheR package (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/DepecheR.html), which aims at identifying significant biological traits in noisy and complex data generated with flow/mass cytometry or scRNAseq.

Oxford RUG is thrilled to be sponsored by Mango Solutions. Thanks to their generosity, there will be pizza from Franco Manca after the meeting. When RSVPing, please let us know whether you will be staying for pizza (so we get a sense how much pizza to order).
