bioinformatics resources [closed]

Question

When is about programming, we certain have some blogs to follow, but when your thinking to try a different field, how can you find the big names?

I wish to try bioinfrmatics field and to add into my daily schedule some blog reads from this domain. Can you recommend me some blogs?

Blue Collar Bioinformatics

Answer 3

• programming4scientists.com - tricks for scientists entering the world of programming
• mailund on the Internet - nice blog on programming, population genetics, simulations
• Open-Bio news - news from the project that hosts bioperl, biopython, etc..
• FinchTalk - this one is from a company, but it is interesting and technical worthy of reading it.
• Fisheye Perspective - very interesting with news on synthetic biology and else - the author is very active in many bioinformatics communities. note: I suggest you to register to the feeds directly
• 88 Proof Synthetic Biology
• Learning R - as the title says, tips to learn R
• BioCS
• MentalIndigestion
• PDB - MOlecule of the Month
• The molecule of the Month - similar style to pdb's, but different authors

Answer 4

When searchin into a new field I've found clusty.com very valuable. It is a meta search machine that classifies and clusters the results so you can easily get those results covering your interests. This gives a good start and can than be extended via google. Trying 'bioinformatics' returns 10 clusters, amoung are 'computational' or 'program', but also 'genome', #publishing' or 'articles'.

Answer 7

And if you care to get a system which provides you with software for your needs:

Debian has hundreds of related packages thanks to work of Debian Med: e.g. browse through the task pages such as Next generation sequencing, Cloud - Debian Med bioinformatics applications usable in cloud computing , etc at http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/
