Hi.
Welcome to Bioinformatics Life Sciences on
your computer.
This is Bob Lessik.
I'm coming to you on a very pleasant June
summer day at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
And I'm really looking forward to doing
some bioinformatics with you this summer.
Reminder, the course starts Monday, June
9th.
And our format is that each week we will
have new material.
So a five week course with five weeks of
new material.
What to expect?
Each week you'll see some short video
lectures and those video
lectures are often accompanied by some
short reading in PDF format.
Generally, the best way to learn
bioinformatics is by practice.
So I'll have practice exercises, with
answers provided.
Those will be good topics of discussion,
the discussion forum.
I hope you have a lively discussion forum
where you
can ask me and some other students
questions about bioinformatics.
Very exciting field.
For those of you that want to complete the
coursework, and that's optional.
We will have quizzes and weekly
assignments.
I'm looking forward to getting started.
Again, we start June 9th, you'll have a
whole week to access
the first week's material and good luck
and let's have a fabulous summer.
