Thanks, great resources.

You are welcome!!

[@dcnishat5485]

Thank you Dr. Tommy! Amazing collection! Are there any books you would suggest related to Machine Learning for Omics or biology in general?

[@chatomics]

you may take a look at compgenomr.github.io/book/

[@pileve48]

Thx for the great list of books, I will definitely get some of them. Do you maybe also have any recommendations for proteomics & metabolomics ?

[@chatomics]

I do not know any books, but see some resources for analyzing proteomics data x.com/tangming2005/status/1815382540871708973

Thanks Tommy ! Can you give some tips on how to manage self learning Those are complex topics for biologists and dense textbooks. Do you recommend following small chuncks schedule? Dedicating a month only for ‏‪it ? Etc

[@chatomics]

the best way to learn is to apply what you learned in a real-life project. Find one in your lab or at your job. Or you can reproduce figures from papers e.g. github.com/deanslee/FigureOneLab

Hi Tommy, Thanks for the great resources. Would you recommend books over online courses on Coursera and Udemy? What is your advice for someone lacking math skills who wants to go into bioinformatics? What are some of the must-have skills to land a job in bioinformatics? Thanks.

Books and courses both are good. The key is to go and finish a course and a book. Then use the knowledge you learned for a real project. Watch my other video on bioinformatics CV tips

Thanks Tommy, your channel is really helpfull. I have a question though. I have just got my neuroscience degree and want to get into bioinformatics, i dont want to do a masters, would doing online courses like python, statstics and projects be sufficient to land a job?

[@chatomics]

Yes, it is possible as long as you can demonstrate your skills. Make sure your GitHub profile looks good. Watch the other video on bioinformatics CV tips from me
