Seq: A high-performance language for bioinformatics
Paper about a language, that is pretty much a twist on Python that's aimed at getting higher performance for bioinformatics applications.
Seq language
A high-performance, Pythonic language for bioinformatics
How did the 5 bases get their names
Neat little twitter thread that outlines how the five bases (4 DNA and U for RNA) got their names.

Free online bioinformatics course
Many biomedical research graduate programs have been compelled to “go online” with little or no notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since many professors are distinctly uncomfortable in front of a camera, students may not get exposure to some of the topics that they might have expected. Since my move to South Africa in 2015, I have tried to deposit video on YouTube (and PDFs of the slides to Google Drive) every time I have delivered a lecture for students. Since I teach a fairly broad range of coursework, the catalog of topics may be useful for students working from home or for departments that are trying to ensure their students get the training they need. This page indexes the series of lectures I have made available. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I have enjoyed creating them!
Researchers generate complete human X chromosome sequence
Some good comments in here that explain some of the issues, and solutions, of acquiring a full sequence of a chromosome.
Genomics Boot Camp
The Genomics Boot Camp is a resource that helps you to start your journey in practical analysis of genomic data, with a focus on SNP data. The chapters follow the same structure all the time: provide background information and practical insight to the topic, and when appropriate exercises to reinforce the obtained knowledge. The Genomics Boot Camp as a whole was designed to cater to various learning preferences with written text, video demonstrations, and the possibility of hands-on exercises. There is a certain overlap between the book and the YouTube channel contents, but each has unique pieces of information as well. So for the full experience, I suggest checking out both.
Interactive Bioinformatics Tutorials
Neat web-based sandbox of bioinformatics tutorials, providing a sandbox for some of the common tools.
