PLoS Computational Biology: Education

Recognizing the need for training and education in bioinformatics and computational biology specifically targeted to biologists, PLoS Computational Biology launched its "Education" section in January 2006. The goals are to provide practical and background information on important computational methods used to investigate interesting biological questions as well as resource tools that may be used at your institution for training scientists at all stages of their career. New articles will be added to the Education Collection as they are published.
