Introduction Sample Project: Resources Summary Future Plans Summary I need help analysing my gene expression data! Where can I store my data? I’d like to learn how to program! Which program can I use to do XXX? I need access to a powerful UNIX computer! How can I make this run faster? I can only load up 20 sequences on the web! What does this parameter do? I can’t get this program to run! I wonder how Bioinformatics can boost this study?
