## What it is
A curated list of resources gathered by the Harvard Informatics group for learning bioinformatics tools and skills at home. It organizes tutorials, courses, and guides covering Unix, R, Python, statistics, and genomics analysis topics like RNA-seq and variant calling.

## Use cases
- learn bioinformatics from scratch at home
- find tutorials for RNA-seq analysis
- learn Unix shell for genomics
- find R and Python courses for computational biology
- learn single-cell analysis and read mapping
- find statistics resources for life sciences

## When to choose
- you want a curated, organized index of free bioinformatics learning materials
- you are a beginner seeking structured paths through Unix, R, Python, and genomics topics
- you want links to reputable courses and tutorials from academic sources

## When to avoid
- you need actual software tools or pipelines rather than learning resources
- you want interactive lessons rather than links to external content
- you need domain-specific training beyond the topics covered in the list

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: bioinformatics, tutorials, data-science, education
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, bioinformatics, learning-resources, genomics, curated-list
