We developed the course to be beneficial for people working in the disciplines of plant breeding and/or computer programming. The course was developed by Dr. Ashu Guru who is a professor in computer science and Dr. Deana Namuth-Covert, a professor in plant breeding and genetics education. We have created the content assuming students know nothing about R. Approximate time to complete: 40 hoursTarget audience: plant breeding students or plant breeding professionals."
