Tutorials and lecture materials from NCBI and NHGRI
November 30th, 2011 by Kristi · No Comments
I am constantly surprised by the amount of great instructional material available in topics related to genomics and bioinformatics. It is unfortunate that there isn’t a “master list” somewhere of all of the instructional available from NIH-related efforts (hint hint). Until that happens, I’ll try to share resources as I find them. Here are some [...]
