Testimonials
feedback from our collaborators and service users
“Fantastic long reads bioinformatics workshop from @edgenome, superbly setup, good mix of theory and hands-on with @nanopore data. Also @urmi208 is a brilliant instructor, effortlessly handling a very mixed skills bunch of people – and all that, online, hats off!”
“Introduction to Long-read Bioinformatics” Student, May 2021
“Just what I needed to start writing more complex code.”
“Advanced Python for Biologists” Student, August 2015
“Having never used Linux before I came away with a working knowledge of the command-line and the confidence to use it.”
“Introduction to Linux for Genomics” Student, May 2016
“I thought it would be painful but it was actually fun!! #linux course. Thanks Tim & Nathan”
“Introduction to Linux for Genomics” Student, November 2021
“Great learning from someone with a biology background rather than computer science – meant we were on the same wavelength.”
“Introduction to Python for Biologists” Student, February 2016
“Loved it! I’m now itching to get my hands on my RNA-seq data and analyse it myself.”
“RNA-seq Data Analysis” Student, November 2014
“I really enjoyed the workshop and I thought it was extremely well organised and taught.”
“RNA-seq Data Analysis” Student, May 2017
“Really enjoyed the last few days of the “R for biologists course” of @edgenome. Thanks @nathcmedd for the great introduction! Can highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a first try with R”
“R for Biologists” Student, April 2022
“Thanks to brilliant @Nathcmedd for transforming me from completely clueless to vaguely competent in just 3 days! 100% recommend for anyone looking to get into coding!”
“R for Biologists” Student, August 2022
“Really excellent. I learned so much and have never loved coding so much.”
