Here are some sites I visit regularly to brush up my knowledge or to learn something completely new.
- Scitable - very well written articles on genetics and cell biology (no longer maintained).
- Swirl - A platform for learning statistics and R simultaneously and interactively.
- Coursera - Enrol in one of the many available courses taught by researchers/lecturers from different universities around the world.
- EdX offers interactive online classes and MOOCs from the world’s best universities
- betterexplained.com - Learn mathematics intuitively.
- Rosalind - Get your hands wet solving bioinformatics problems
Courses
- Genomics and Computational Biology
- Computational Functional Genomics
- Courses taught by Manolis Kellis
- Courses taught by Limsoon Wong
- Courses taught by Dr. Kari Lock Morgan
- Check out this paper A New Online Computational Biology Curriculum, for a huge list of MOOCs.
- A biologist's guide to statistical thinking and analysis
Wish list
My wish list of random things I want to learn more about: - Hidden Markov Models (HMMs)
- Advanced R programming
- A low level programming language, like C
- Linear algebra
- Biostatistics
- Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
- Python
- Discrete mathematics
And lastly if you happen to know of other cool resources for learning that you\'d like to share, please let me know.
Hi,
I try to run EdgeR without replcate, but I do not know how. Can you please walk me through all the commands (I know very little about computer). Thanks
Chinh
Hi Chinh,
There is a section in the edgeR vignette on running an analysis without replicates (specifically it is section “2.9 What to do if you have no replicates”).
If you plan on using edgeR, I would highly recommend reading it from the edgeR Bioconductor page.
Cheers,
Dave
