6/ try new analysis tools/ new analysis methods to try to reveal some biological information. Santiy check at every step. Talk to biology experts to see if the results make sense or not. Rinse and repeat.
7/ that's a wrap. If you enjoy this thread. retweet it to your audience. Join my newsletter to learn computational biology buff.ly/3l0kI6s

1/ False belief: I need to learn fancy machine learning stuff or algorithms for computational biology.
Reality: most of us will only need to learn the data skills to answer biological questions.
Find the roadmap below ๐ ๐งต
2/ If you are like me, you will not need to develop a reads aligner such as STAR. You will only need to learn how to use those tools. get the reads mapped and get the counts table for DESeq2 for RNAseq. Learn Unix buff.ly/3FITwR1 and RNAseq buff.ly/3mR61mV
3/ Then, you will need basic R skills for data wrangling and data visualization. making Heatmap is one of the key skills you want to have. Start here: buff.ly/428ix1q
Spatial transcriptome is the next wave after single-cell RNAseq. Resources to bookmark to get into the field ๐ ๐งต

* [The expanding vistas of spatial transcriptomics](buff.ly/3m1x9zb)
* [Exploring tissue architecture using spatial transcriptomics](buff.ly/3Sq7Z9f)

Git is the most popular tool for version control your source code.
But the learning curve can be steep.
Here are the 10 tips for you ๐งต ๐ along with learning resource links.

1/ Several basic commands will serve you a long way:
git clone
git add
git commit -m
git push
Those are enough to get you started. To be honest, those are still the most frequent commands I use.
2/ understand git and github. You use git to track files locally, and github can host your repos. You can start with the github skill page buff.ly/3tO2iaf
gitlab buff.ly/3JlGA69 is an alternative to github
