[BioEdu] Tutorials and training materials available

[Mary Mangan]

Hi Ryan-

 

   We will look into this.  It is an interesting idea.

 

   I'm not sure these are really designed for just audio, though.  We are
trying to present very specific and useful tips on using the software, so we
refer to specific menus, and how the displays look and what you can learn
from the display, "when you click here" and things like that.  Also, they
are in separate sections so that you can watch just a segment that you might
want.  But I'll talk to my colleagues about it!  Thanks for the feedback.

 

Mary

I wonder if its possible to make this available as podcasts.  Doing so would
allow people to listen to this while travelling, in the car, etc.

Hello educators and students, and those just interested in learning more-

 

We wanted to let you know that we have recently added a number of free
online tutorials and training materials on bioinformatics resources.  These
are free and publicly available since they are funded by the resource
providers.  

 

There are now free training suites on 6 resources, including:

*UCSC Genome Browser Introduction; sponsored by University of California,
Santa Cruz

*UCSC Genome Browser Advanced Features; sponsored by University of
California, Santa Cruz

*Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG); sponsored by the Joint Genome Institute

*VISTA: Comparative Genomics tools; sponsored by University of California,
Berkeley

*SeattleSNPs; sponsored by University of Washington

*Genome Variation Server; sponsored by University of Washington

 

All tutorial suites include a recorded tutorial (requires Flash),
downloadable slides, handouts, and exercises.  Some providers also offer
Quick Reference Cards-handy cards to keep near the computer with reminders
and tips about using the software.  

 

You can access these materials from our site:
http://openhelix.com/sponsored.shtml  

 

Our goal is to provide training specifically on the software tools that
biomedical researchers need to use effectively and efficiently for their
research.  Materials are targeted to those who already have theoretical
knowledge of biological concepts like gene structures, SNPs, etc.
Programming experience is not required

 

 

Best regards,

 

Mary
