Bioinformatics-Data and Techniques

First of all, Laura's song recommendation is great. Turn up the volume! I was thinking that we might have a class sing-a-long to facilitate memorization. (Much like some of the "pi" songs, it's catchy!) Secondly, Debbie apparently blogged for me this week. Bioinformatics is not purely logical or intuitive, and I am at an extreme disadvantage on the subject.

I reviewed Dr. Dinu's presentation Week 1 in 501. It's a helpful re-introduction to the subject. In the slides he recommended  this website, which gives up some helpful background information http://www.personalizedmedicinecoalition.org/ .

In addition, another search brought me to this website http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/PCR/foundationalPCR.html#anchor1238784
The references seem credible, albeit dated, and offer an explanation and discussions of Laura's favorite subject, PCR.
