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
“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
“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
“Really excellent. I learned so much and have never loved coding so much.”
“Introduction to Python for Biologists” Student, April 2017
“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 also liked the fact that Martin spent a good amount of one on one time talking to people helping explain specific concepts and giving people advice on their personal academic projects.”
“Advanced Python for Biologists” Student, July 2016
“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
“Just what I needed to start writing more complex code.”
“Advanced Python for Biologists” Student, August 2015
“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!”
