📓 A Little Book of R For Bioinformatics
By: Dr Avril Coghlan - from Sanger Institute
💥This is a simple introduction to bioinformatics, with a focus on genome analysis, using the R statistics software. To encourage research into neglected tropical diseases such as leprosy, Chagas disease, trachoma, schistosomiasis etc., most of the examples in this booklet are for analysis of the genomes of the organisms that cause these diseases.

📑Machine learning in medicine: a practical introduction to natural language processing
💥The methods of this paper is structured into four parts, which in turn cover:
1. Basic NLP techniques for data cleaning in open-text datasets
2. Positive and negative sentiment analysis of drug reviews, with a freely-available lexicon
3. Unsupervised machine learning to identify similarities and differences between drugs, based on the words used to describe them
4. Supervised machine learning (classification) to predict whether a free text drug review will be associated with a dichotomised “Good” or “Bad” numerical score
We present samples of code written using the R Statistical Programming Language within the paper to illustrate the methods described, and provide the full noscript as a supplementary file. At points in the analysis, we deliberately simplify and shorten the dataset so that these analyses can be reproduced in reasonable time on a personal desktop or laptop, although this would clearly be suboptimal for original research studies.
While this paper is intended for readers who are relatively new to the field, some basic familiarity with the R programming language and machine learning concepts will make this manunoscript easier to follow.

📖📺Genomics Boot Camp (Online Book + YouTube channel)
💥The Genomics Boot Camp is a resource that helps you to start your journey in practical analysis of genomic data, with a focus on SNP data. The chapters follow the same structure all the time: provide background information and practical insight to the topic, and when appropriate exercises to reinforce the obtained knowledge. The Genomics Boot Camp as a whole was designed to cater to various learning preferences with written text, video demonstrations, and the possibility of hands-on exercises. There is a certain overlap between the book and the YouTube channel contents, but each has unique pieces of information as well. So for the full experience, I suggest checking out both.

📑Bioinformatics core competencies for undergraduate life sciences education
From Paper Abstract: Although bioinformatics is becoming increasingly central to research in the life sciences, bioinformatics skills and knowledge are not well integrated into undergraduate biology education. This curricular gap prevents biology students from harnessing the full potential of their education, limiting their career opportunities and slowing research innovation. To advance the integration of bioinformatics into life sciences education, a framework of core bioinformatics competencies is needed. To that end, we here report the results of a survey of biology faculty in the United States about teaching bioinformatics to undergraduate life scientists. Responses were received from 1,260 faculty representing institutions in all fifty states with a combined capacity to educate hundreds of thousands of students every year...
