A while ago we posted a request for online resources on must-read papers in evolutionary biology, for a literature club. We received many answers in the meantime

carpentries-incubator.github.io - A lesson introducing the Snakemake workflow system for bioinformatics analysis. Prerequisites This is an intermediate lesson and assumes learners have already done some bioinformatics: Familiarity with the BASH command shell, including...

This tutorial is intended to introduce users quickly to the basics of R, focusing on a few common tasks that  biologists need to perform  some basic analysis:  load a table, plot some graphs, and perform some basic statistics. More...

cpansearch.perl.org - This is a collection of libraries and high-quality end-user scripts for bioinformatic analysis, including working with gene annotation, collecting data scores from a variety of modern file formats, and conversion between file formats. The...

www.r2d3.us - In machine learning, computers apply statistical learning techniques to automatically identify patterns in data. These techniques can be used to make highly accurate predictions. Keep scrolling. Using a data set about homes, we will...

www.nature.com - There is no disputing the importance of statistical analysis in biological research, but too often it is considered only after an experiment is completed, when it may be too late. This collection highlights important statistical issues that...

marinetics.org - High throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies are being applied to a wide range of important topics in biology. However, the analyses of non-model organisms, for which little previous sequence information is available, pose specific problems. This...

www.biotnet.org - A quickstart tutorial that allows to become familiar with the Python language. The exercises expect knowledge of basic concepts of programming. A group of 2nd year computer science students with no previous Python knowledge required 60'-90' to...
