Maria Nattestad just dropped a new introduction to the field of bioinformatics.

Foundation skills for bioinformatics:

• Python
• Use the Command Line (e.g. Bash, scripts)
• Statistics - p-values, multiple hypothesis tests

I've used Rosalind in the past to learn about bioinformatics. I solved about 17 of the problems, which is about 6% of the problems on the site.

I think it gave a decent mix of guided learning and letting you figure things out on your own. I would say having some background knowledge in biology and coding would be necessary. It doesn't do a lot of hand holding, but there is some.

This post is a 'game' proposal. Reply with your favorite tool, if yours has been posted already, just upvote the comment.
