Data processing and visualization too dense #56

Closed Czirion closed 2 years ago

Czirion commented 2 years ago

Reviewer's comments: 1)Compared to the content of the first three lessons, this lesson is much more dense, both in terms of content as well as in topics per episode. It could be considered to split some of the episodes into smaller ones. 2) This is the most dense lesson, I believe (at least the longest). I like the flow of the lesson and the contents but splitting it into two parts would be beneficial for the learners, in my honest opinion. 3) A more general comment is regarding the overall distribution of the load across the workshop. In its current form, is a bit "heavier" towards the end - although fully understandable, as a lot of the metagenomics-specific topics are tackled at that time, it may be useful to review, and possibly split, some of the episodes into smaller ones. Another approach would be to ensure that, in a 2-day workshop context, some of the first episodes of the Data processing and visualization for metagenomics lesson are tackled during Day 1, thus distributing a bit the load.

Claudia's suggestion: 1) Take ggplot section from Taxonomic Analysis with R ti a new episode in Intro to R. 2) Make a new episode to introduce Phyloseq and make the phyloseq objects and arrangements needed for the diversity plots and taxonomic analysis. 3) Put only diversity theory, alpha diversity plot and beta diversity plot in the Diversity episode. 4) Only remain with the abundance plots in the Taxonomic analysis episode.

I already changed the sections, created a ggplot episode and created the abundance episode. What is missing is for me to review all the consistency of the text along the episodes.

The screenshot for the otu_table is wrong. It currently shows the tax_table
