Comments.Text: For specific requests, yes, we have allowed it in the past (e.g. [here](https://bioinformatics.stackexchange.com/questions/3956/books-on-bioinformatics-algorithms)). If you want to change to a specific topic, please do that, but I'm seeing 1) books on NGS technologies; 2) books on data analysis; 3) books on NGS use in drug discovery; 4) courses for NGS analysis; 5) courses for NGS use in drug discovery. It's better to ask multiple questions than to create a single post with multiple subquestions/areas. However, I expect you'll get a better response elsewhere with these requests.

Title: Recent Bioinformatics Graduate Seeking Resources for NGS and Drug Discovery
ThreadText: # Recent Bioinformatics Graduate Seeking Resources for NGS and Drug Discovery
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-06-18)
  
  I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in bioinformatics. Unfortunately, the bioinformatics program at my university was limited, and I'm feeling the need to expand my knowledge in specific areas.
  
  I'm particularly interested in next-generation sequencing (NGS) and drug discovery. I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations for resources that could help me gain a deeper understanding of these topics.
  
  Specifically, I'm looking for:
  
  Books: Introductory or intermediate-level texts that cover NGS technologies, data analysis, and applications in drug discovery.
  
  Online Courses: Structured courses or tutorials that provide practical training in NGS analysis and its use in drug development pipelines.
