Dr. Bioinformatics (aka Dr. Min) Speaks

This week's seminar features Dr. Jack Min.  His expertise in bioinformatics in renown.  I strongly urge all of you to attend his seminar entitled:

“RNA Sequencing and Transcriptome Analysis in Plants”

 

For future reference, for both undergrads and grads, I would ardently suggest that you consider taking one or more classes in bioinformatics from Dr. Min.  Regardless of your interests, his course would be valuable to your career.
