I like this book

https://github.com/winstondu/Algorithm_Papers/blob/master/Al...

which is more heavy on the computer science side and less on the biology.

Lazy question if anyone knows: How does one get acquainted with the field of bioinformatics? Is there a particular book or online course that gives a solid introduction?

From reddit:

Here are some general staples:

General Bioinformatics knowledge: https://www.biostarhandbook.com/

The paid handbooks were fantastic and well worth the price imo. Coding problems for bioinformatics: https://rosalind.info/problems/locations/

Learning techniques involving bulkRNAseq and scRNAseq: https://diytranscriptomics.com/

I recommend:

Compeau and Pevzner, Bioinformatics Algorithms. 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”

[OgsyedIE → hsshhshshjk]

Pevsner - Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics, third edition, is the standard for a reason.

I am not in the field so I can't say whether or not this is an effective way to learn anything, but it at least looks fun: https://rosalind.info
