OpenHelix provides tutorials and training materials on over 50 resources (a list that is growing rapidly) including genome browsers like Ensembl to interactions analysis tools like STRING. The tutorials are updated regularly. Permissions are granted by the resource provider for OH to create and deliver the training materials, but these tutorials are not financially sponsored by the provider. There is a subscription fee for access to all these additional tutorials.

    I am very interested in having access to these courses online since our laboratory we are beginning the bioinformatics

    Alberto,

    The links on this page will take you to our sponsored (and thus free) online tutorials for those resources. You have access to those without cost. OpenHelix also offers a suite of other online tutorials (over 50) on additional resources for a subscription. You can get access to those here.

    You might consider adding the program “The Future of Medicine: Pharmacogenomics” which was sponsored by the US Food and Drug Administration and the American College of Clinical Pharmacology (http://www.accp1.org). It has 13 sections, each with an Overview and a Depth Module, so is a complete course.

    Hi Gilbert–

    Thanks for that, we’ll check it out. It looks interesting.

    Alberto,
    You can also find tutorials you might find interesting about Ensembl here:
