As bioinformatics becomes increasingly central to research in the molecular life sciences, the need to train non-bioinformaticians to make the most of bioinformatics resources is growing. Here, we review the key challenges and pitfalls to providing effective training for users of bioinformatics services, and discuss successful training strategies shared by a diverse set of bioinformatics trainers. We also identify steps that trainers in bioinformatics could take together to advance the state of the art in current training practices. The ideas presented in this article derive from the first Trainer Networking Session held under the auspices of the EU-funded SLING Integrating Activity, which took place in November 2009.
随着生物信息学在分子生命科学研究中变得越来越重要，培训非生物信息学家以充分利用生物信息学资源的需求也在不断增长。在这里，我们回顾了为生物信息学服务的用户提供有效培训的关键挑战和陷阱，并讨论了不同的生物信息学培训师所共享的成功培训策略。我们还确定了生物信息学培训师可以共同采取的步骤，以推动当前培训实践的最新发展。本文所提出的观点源自于在欧盟资助的 SLING 集成活动的支持下于 2009 年 11 月举行的第一次培训师网络会议。
