What exactly is bioinformatics?

‘Doing’ bioinformatics to extract, process, analyse, and interpret experimental results is something that all life scientists do as part of their research. But what exactly is bioinformatics? And is there a right (or a wrong) way to do it?
In this webinar, Dr Georgie Samaha welcomes you to the vast world of bioinformatics. Georgie illuminates key concepts including:
What does a typical experiment look like?
What kind of data will I work with?
What is involved in data-preprocessing?
What’s involved in data analysis?
Where can I do bioinformatics?
We explore common experimental use cases and share essential - but easy to overlook - practical tips for accessing data, software, and computing resources you need to get your research done.
Speaker:
Dr Georgie Samaha - Product Owner of the Australian BioCommons BioCLI Project and Bioinformatics Group Lead at the Sydney Informatics Hub, The University of Sydney.
