Two years ago David Searls published an article in PLoS Comp Bio describing a series of online courses in bioinformatics. Yesterday, the same author published an updated version, “A New Online Computational Biology Curriculum,” (PLoS Comput Biol 10(6): e1003662. doi: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003662).
This updated curriculum has a supplemental PDF describing hundreds of video courses that are foundational to a good understanding of computational biology and bioinformatics. The table of contents embedded into the PDF’s metadata (Adobe Reader: View>Navigation Panels>Bookmarks; Apple Preview: View>Table of Contents) breaks the curriculum down into 11 “departments” with links to online courses in each subject area:
- Mathematics Department
- Computer Science Department
- Data Science Department
- Chemistry Department
- Biology Department
- Computational Biology Department
- Evolutionary Biology Department
- Systems Biology Department
- Neurosciences Department
- Translational Sciences Department
- Humanities Department
