Good lectures that have been updated over the years, ranging from classic to recent content. It’s good to look at the big framework when studying a specific topic.

 

 

A Primer for Computational Biology

https://open.oregonstate.education/computationalbiology/

 

It is a computer science book that teaches only programming, which is rare these days. Kind of programming introduction book with bioinformatics examples.

 

 

Sandbox.bio

https://sandbox.bio/

 

It is a tutorial site that compiles major program such as samtools, bedtools, awk into WebAssembly and makes them available for practice in a web browser. It’s great that it comes out just ready without installing anything and provides an environment where you can type whatever you want. It’s a good recommendation for starter.
