To kick start my genomics education I’ve been working my way through the following:

Books

The hacker news quest for the grand unified web node reactive deep framework seems trivial and pointless against the complexity and diversity of DNA.

So we don’t really know anything at all it turns out…perfect, so that means there’s plenty left to do!

Do I tell my kids now that the birds and the bees talk I had with them was hopelessly simplistic and misleading?

Textbooks

Suggested by David Haussler to fill in some of the biology. I can’t believe I’m alive after reading the first 3rd of this…

Coursera Bioinformatics Specialization which follows an interactive text book Bioinformatics Algorithms, An Active Learning Approach. The coding exercises can be graded directly via the bioinformatics textbook track on Rosalind or in the Coursera course directly. Using ipython/jupyter makes it super fun to work through these programming exercises. I’m now addicted to the dopamine (see above textbook) jolt when the Rosalind page turns green on successful submission.

Hosted by the author of Herding Hemingway’s cats (see above).

Byte sized coverage from ACMG

The NHGRI’s Current Topics in Genome Analysis 2016 is a good broad and in-depth set of lectures on the latest topics and techniques.
