Tip of the Week: Year (2nd!) of Tips
If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know that every Wednesday, come rain, shine or travel, we post a tip of the week. 98% of the time that’s a short 3-5 minute screencast of some genomics database or resource we like or an aspect of one we think you might find useful*. We’ve been doing this for just over 2 years now, with over 100 tips. That’s a lot of screencasting! At the end of last year we recapped that year’s tips in two posts, the first half of the year, and the second half. We are going to do that this year to over these last two weeks of the year. Today I’ll list the tips we posted during the first half of the year, next week Mary will list the second half of the year’s worth. The list for January through June is below the fold:
