Khan academy offers many free courses, e.g.: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/statistics-

probability)
EMBL has a collection of courses online (with a focus on computational biology analyses):
https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/online/course/embo-practical-course-analysis-high-throughput-
seq/differential-expression-rna-seq
Along the same lines (starts with basic concepts and then it gets more complicated; also provides R
code): http://genomicsclass.github.io/book/
Coding (general concepts, different programming languages, guided examples):

- https://www.codecademy.com ( for example: R https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-r,
python: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-python-3)
Coursera is a great site with many online courses (https://coursera.org). Some even have guided
exercises and offer the possibility to get a certification after the completion of the course. I took this
course for Machine Learning (very easy to follow, it’s good for beginners and also has some exercises
in matlab or octave (open source)) (https://coursera.org/learn/machine-learning)
These blogs are a quick read and great for understanding how different parameters affect tSNE and
UMAP projections:
