The Biostar Handbook is too interesting

This is a page that introduces a book sold online called The Biostar Handbook by people who have nothing to do with biostars. This article is related to IT technology, so I don't think there is a problem, but if you have any questions, please let me know.

Do you know Biostars?

biostars is a Q & A site that can be called stackoverflow in the bioinformatics area. At Bioinformatics, there are not many Japanese materials for beginners. In such a situation, if you search for biostars, you will often find kind answers, which is very helpful. I've actually asked myself questions, but it's very convenient because I often get polite and good answers.

Since such biostars sells handbooks, I bought it.

The price is very cheap, like 2500 yen or 3500 yen. Considering the price of academic books, I think it is a really bargain price.

(It's a surprising price for a bioinfo book!)

I paid with Paypal, but I can buy it from Japan without any problems.

You don't have to be able to read English with Biostar handbook!

Well, I'd like to buy a biostar handbook, but I'm not good at English. But biostars can be logged in and read on the website! Of course, you can use Google Translate by chromium.

(You can read it in Japanese, you can read it!)

Of course, there will be some parts where you need to check the original text, but you can read it in a fairly high level of Japanese, which is enough for reading through. And it can be said that there is no Japanese material for beginners of bioinformatics that is so organized in terms of mass on the earth.

Biostar Handbook is too interesting!

How to not waste time is too interesting

By the way, the most interesting thing about buying the biostar handbook is the item "How to avoid wasting time". It was so interesting that I might get scolded from somewhere, but I would like to quote it.

Reference to Docker

how is it? Isn't it the best? Next, let's take a look at the references to AWS

Let's take a look at the references to the analysis platform

Let's take a look at the references to CWL

This fun isn't just for cloud vendors and Docker. Let's take a look at the mention of GATK

I think it's the best. (Did you feel sick?) If you sell a book that says something like this in Japan, you may get complaints.

But all the tools are made by someone else. Don't just blindly believe, know what's wrong. It will be necessary to look in a loving, healthy and critical spirit.

If you are interested in this, please take a look at the Biostar Handbook.

I dared to give an interesting description above, but overall it feels like a complete textbook for beginners written in a very easy-to-understand manner.

For beginners of bioinformatics, I wish there was a Japanese textbook for beginners that was so easy to understand. It's hard to study because I don't have academic ability and I can't speak English!

Finally, I'm a biostars user, but I have no stake in biostars. Even if I advertise the Biostar Handbook, I don't get a single yen. But when I saw this fascinating handbook, I wanted to promote it.

That's all for this article.
