I was wondering if someone could suggest an interesting coding project for a beginner bioinformatics student. I am actually a senior computer science major, so my programming skills are pretty good. I have been reading articles here and there but would like to do some hands on projects - just not sure where to start! Any advice is appreciated.
This is a question I hear a lot in workshops, actually. And there are folks out there teaching who could use a repository of little tasks that need to be done that they could put some students on. If anyone knows of one like this--matching small projects + trainees, I'd be interested too.
I'd be very interested in a repository like Mary suggests as well...
Thank you everybody for the great answers!
