 - If you are interested in multimodal data analysis, the basics of muon and MuData are recommended. This book covers MuData in greater detail, but only briefly introduces muon analogously to AnnData and scanpy. The excellent [muon tutorials](https://muon-tutorials.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) serve as a great introduction to multimodal data analysis with muon.
 
-- Basics R programming. Familiarity with control flow and basic data structures suffices. If you are new to programming and R we recommend the free [R for data science](https://r4ds.had.co.nz/) book.
