BIO144 Course Information (version 2026)

Preface

This website contains information about the BIO144 Data Analysis in Biology course at the University of Zurich.

Beware that Owen sometimes makes updates to the information during the semester, so if you have downloaded a copy or taken screenshots, your copy may not exactly match the most current version. If content changes in an important way Owen will make an announcement on OLAT, or by email.

How this website was made

The website was written using a type of RMarkdown. It allows a script with a mix of normal text and R code to produce chapters and a book that has a mixture of text, R code, and R output. Rmarkdown is very useful for making reports, books, presentations, and even websites.

This book is a Quarto book. To learn more about Quarto books visit https://quarto.org/docs/books.
