Self Learning of Bioinformatics Online: Online learning,tutorial,Video,Blog,Social Media (English Edition)

The book is a collection of worldwide educational and training resources for all levels from novices to advanced practitioners of Bioinformatics/Computational biology. Emphasis given on resources that facilitates online learning, skill development leading towards a career in Bioinformatics/computational biology. With the arrival of genomics and genome sequencing projects, biology has been transformed into an incredibly data-rich science. The vast amount of information generated has made computational analysis critical and has increased demand for online web resources. There are thousands of bioinformatics and genomics resources that are free and publicly accessible. However, trying to find the right resource for one’s need, and learn how to use the complex features and functions may be difficult. The book provides exhaustive web addresses and links of analytical tools, databases, software etc. with brief description of each developed worldwide by reputed Research & Educational Institutions in the areas of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology. It also explores easy ways that one can quickly find and effectively learn how to use resources like Algorithms, Analysis tools, expression resources, genome browsers, Literature and text mining resources focused on nucleotides, proteins, pathways, disease etc. For quick online learning latest advances on Bioinformatics web links, tools, software, videos, online learning materials, webniars, blogs, social media etc. are also recorded. Links to YouTube channels in bioinformatics, existing free video resources, open platforms for problem solving in bioinformatics, active web forums in computing, analyses are identified and sorted. Online resources for learning or use of bioinformatics tool through comprehensive bioinformatics training, continuing education, and open course ware initiative offered by institutions globally to meet the present educational and technological demand have been highlighted
The book helps to find right and relevant computational bioscience resources quickly, easily and how to use these independently, effectively, efficiently and learn to use a resource for breakthrough research. This unique book presents major developments and trends in bioinformatics web resources and its applications for online learning. It is an essential source of reference for high & secondary schools, graduate & post graduate students in bioinformatics, computer science, mathematics, statistics, and biological sciences particularly interested in skill and career advancement through online learning. I am confident, by going through the book one can apply a variety of skills to the processing, storage, analysis and modelling of many types of biological data, providing valuable insights into the understanding of complex biological systems and their quantitative data.
