  From reddit: Here are some general staples: General Bioinformatics knowledge: https://www.biostarhandbook.com/ https://www.biostarhandbook.com/ The paid handbooks were fantastic and well worth the price imo. Coding problems for bioinformatics: https://rosalind.info/problems/locations/ https://rosalind.info/problems/locations/ Learning techniques involving bulkRNAseq and scRNAseq: https://diytranscriptomics.com/ https://diytranscriptomics.com/ Also check out these threads: https://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics/comments/1bm3r9g/scrnaseq_data_analysis_courses_using_python/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics/comments/1bm3r9g/scr... https://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics/comments/191ykr/resources_for_learning_bioinformatics/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics/comments/191ykr/reso... https://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics/comments/12puflj/plos_computational_biology_ten_simple_rules_papers/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bioinformatics/comments/12puflj/plo...

  I recommend: Compeau and Pevzner, Bioinformatics Algorithms. https://www.bioinformaticsalgorithms.org/ https://www.bioinformaticsalgorithms.org/ The also have a new extension (which I haven't checked out yet myself): “Advanced Bioinformatics Algorithms: An Active Learning Approach”
