Animations of Molecular Biology

Some amazing and scientifically accurate illustrations of molecular biology. The artist, Drew Berry, discusses  his work in this article. He also produced work as part of Bjork's Biophilia.

Introduction to Illumina Sequencing

Our lab makes extensive use of Illumina platforms for high throughput DNA sequencing. Their technology has revolutionized biology. The video gives a brief introduction.

Biological computation

Elementary computation is a crucial skill for the modern biologist, who needs to handle large, diverse datasets. You can learn to code for free with Codecademy.  Other excellent resources are available, including Coursera and this Minecraft themed tutorial.

Introduction to Systems Biology

Our ultimate goal is to integrate multiple layers of data into models of biological systems that are insightful and from which we can draw testable hypotheses. This requires an understanding of systems biology. Take a look at these video lectures on the subject from Uri Alon, a noted systems biologist and TED speaker.
