List of resources for learning bioinformatics, from beginner to advanced. The audience of this list is people who have the desire to get started learning programming and bioinformatics tools but aren't sure where to start.

As always, the absolute best way to learn something is through a project. It is highly recommend that as you learn a new concept in each course, apply the tool/math/concept to your own data!

How to contribute

To add to this list of bioinformatics resources, the easiest way is to click "README.md" above, then hit the "edit" button (it looks like a pencil):

What the tags mean

  • #book: hardcover or online book that has problems and explanations to follow through on your own. Typically larger scale than a #tutorial
  • #course: Online or in-person course that you can sign up for with other students. In many cases, you can also work through them on your own
  • #r: the R programming language
  • #python: the Python programming language
  • #tutorial: teaches a specific thing to introduce a concept. Typically smaller scale than a #book
  • #unix: The Unix command line

Absolute Beginner

This is for people who may still be "afraid" of the command line and want a gentle introduction.

  • Data Carpentry - Introduces OpenRefine, R, SQL for data analysis and structure. Can be done on your own or you could attend a 2-day workshop near you! #course #tutorial
  • Software Carpentry - Introduces Unix command line (bash shell), Python, R, Git, SQL for reproducible programming and research. Can be done on your own or you could attend a 2-day workshop near you! #course #tutorial

Beginner

This is for people who feel ready to hit the ground running
