The amount of biological data is increasing rapidly, and will continue to increase as new rapid technologies are developed. Professionals in every area of bioscience will have data management needs that require publicly available bioinformatics resources. Not all scientists desire a formal bioinformatics education but would benefit from more informal educational sources of learning. Effective bioinformatics education formats will address a broad range of scientific needs, will be aimed at a variety of user skill levels, and will be delivered in a number of different formats to address different learning styles. Informal sources of bioinformatics education that are effective are available, and will be explored in this review.
生物数据的数量正在迅速增加,并且随着新的快速技术的发展,这种数量还将继续增加。生物科学各个领域的专业人员都将有数据管理需求,这些需求需要利用公共可用的生物信息学资源。并非所有科学家都希望接受正式的生物信息学教育,但他们会从更非正式的教育资源中受益。有效的生物信息学教育形式将满足广泛的科学需求,针对各种用户技能水平,并以多种不同的格式提供,以满足不同的学习风格。本综述将探讨有效的生物信息学教育的非正式资源。
