Open Helix, provider of training programs for scientists, has a free version of their Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) web-based training product. The company offers both online and site-based training on a range of genomic analayis tools.

According to the company website: “OpenHelix provides convenient and effective online tutorial suites on the most powerful and popular web-based free bioinformatics and genomics resources. The online narrated tutorial, which runs in just about any browser connected to the web, can be viewed from beginning to end or navigated using chapters and forward and backward sliders.”

I viewed the first two parts of the SGD webinar and was impressed. I plan to finish them out and then give SGD a spin to see how effective the training is. I’ll let you know how it works out.
