Bioinformatics

EvoPipes.net: Evolutionary genomic tools for all. My public server of evolutionary bioinformatic pipelines that is gradually coming online during the 2008 - 2009 academic year. Feel free to contact me for more info.

SCARF: An assembly tool for next-generation sequence data. Developed in collaboration with Katrina Dlugosch.

NESCent:The National Evolutionary Synthesis Center

TAIR:A great resource for Arabidopsis data and research, including releases of the genome, GO analyses, and microarray data.

The Scriptome: Easy to use perl scripts for handling biological data

Perl.com: Good starting point for perl on the web

BioPerl: Some useful perl tools for bioinformatics

R: Open source and free stats package

Bioconductor: Essentially R with a nice frontend for biologists

TIGR: Some great tools for dealing with ESTs

ModelGenerator & MultiPhyl: Excellent distributed software for ML model selection and tree construction with both amino and nucleic acids. Also on the site is an intriguing java-based distributed computing system.

Compositae Genome Project: Genomic resources for the largest plant family

Selaginella Genomics: Genomic resources for the first sequenced lycophyte

VanBUG: Vancouver Bioinformatics Users Group

Perl Monks: A monastic approach to perl including perl poetry, extremely obfuscated code, and general dispensing of perl wisdom

Ubuntu: If you are going to do serious bioinformatics you should really look into Linux. Ubuntu is the best place to start for a distribution.
