So if I want to go beyond wondering about #shell / #python specifics and learn about #algorithms in #bioinformatics what would be a good place to start? There are lots of resources about perfunctory how-to, but not much that explains things for a beginning learner #education
@naturepoker
A college textbook on data structures and algorithms?
@hal_canary I'm thinking about this one - https://www.bioinformaticsalgorithms.org/ trying to see if I can follow the first lesson.

@naturepoker I warmly recommend taking the UCSD course by Pevzer and Compeau that others mentioned here.

Rosalind, Stepik, and the Bioinformatics Algorithms books are all interlinked with it.
