Thanks alot for these awesome resources. I’ll be using them to help prepare my Genomics based course I’m running in Finland
Thank you for sharing the slides on edit distance and dynamic programming. I will use them in my python programming class at Loyola University Chicago
Hi Ben! I used the videos for Algorithms for DNA Sequencing and Indexing in a directed-studies course in the fall and now I’m using them as background for a course on pan-genomic indexes. Thanks!
Great slides Ben. I will be using some of the content to provide an overview of OLC and deBruijn graphs at a basic course on bacterial genomics at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, India. Thanks!
Thanks for creating this material. I’m using many of the figures in your slides for my algorithm course at IISc, Bangalore, India.
Your slides on BWT are probably the best I’ve ever seen on the subject, and I thought a few of them might be useful for an introductory course I’m giving on bioinformatics. Thank you so much for making so much material available open access, it is really an invaluable resource.
Thanks for the awesome teaching materials. I am using them for one of my lectures in intro to bionfo course for CS students at the Technion, Israel.
Thanks for sharing! I’m using the BWT slides in our “Algorithms in Bioinformatics” course at UCLA.
Thank you for sharing. I am using some of the slides of Boyer Moore at PESU, India
I am using some of your slides in my computational genomics class at the University of Virginia. Thank you very much for the great resource!
Thank you for sharing. I’m using some of the figures in your slides for my data compression course at SKKU, Korea.
Thanks Ben for sharing your teaching material. I will be using some slides for bioinformatics courses at University of Saskatchewan, Canada.
I’ve used your course materials (slides) successfully for teaching sequence alignment based on suffix arrays and BWT-FM indexes to computational biology students at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Your slides are also very clear, useful, and comprehensive for self-guided study.
Great teaching material! Thanks Ben for sharing it. I am using some of your slides for the data structure part of the Bioinformatics course at DEI, University of Padova, Italy.
Thanks for sharing, I’m using the slide in a Bioinformatic course at University of Turin
