Recently published paper "Teaching the ABCs of bioinformatics: a brief introduction to the Applied Bioinformatics Course" in Briefings in Bioinformatics journals by Jingchu Luo share his teaching experiences and the online teaching materials with colleagues working in bioinformatics education both in local and international universities.
Detailed information about the teaching strategies of the course are outlined in the ‘How to teach’
section. The contents of the course are briefly described in the ‘What to teach’ section with some real examples.
