Find and read a good primer on some topic that you feel is a course-related weakness. E.g., if your background is primarily in CS, find a "bio for computer scientists" primer, or something on "computing for biologists" if your background is primarily in biology, something on probability and statistics if you feel that's a gap, etc.

Email me a link and/or citation to the paper you read, together with a few sentences about it. E.g., give me critique of it for meeting your needs. Who would it have been good for, if not you? Highlight something from it that you found especially interesting or surprising.

You may pick a paper from anywhere; here are a few starter suggestions:

• Molecular Biology for Computer Scientists, a primer by Lawrence Hunter (46 pages)
• A Quick Introduction to Elements of Biology, a primer by Alvis Brazma et al.
• S-Star Bioinformatics Online Course Schedule, a collection of video primers
• One student reports that bioinformatics.org has "a very comprehensive FAQ which included several references to online tutorials and lectures. The FAQ itself could serve as a good annotated reference list."
• The "Online Courses" pages at iscb.org may also be useful.
• CSE 590TV: Computational Biology (Professional Masters Program), ditto.

As I get email from you, I'll post interesting additions here.
