Biology

• A Tutorial on Genes, Genomes, and Bioinformatics
  A tutorial for beginners.
• Graphics Gallery
  This a series of labelled diagrams with explanations representing the important processes of biotechnology. Each diagram is followed by a summary of information, providing a context for the process illustrated.
• Glossary of Genetic Terms
  Type in the keyword you want to know more about.

Statistics

• Electronic Textbook StatSoft
  An electronic textbook that covers toplics like linear regression, ANOVA, cluster analysis, neural networks, classification trees (CART), etc.
• Introduction to Graphical Models
  A concise introduction. Good reading material, but not suitable for a presentation.
• A Talk on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs)
  An elementary introduction to HMMs. Useful, e.g., as a lecture to undergraduates.

Bioinformatics

• Microarray Links
  A useful collection of different links.
• DNA Chips and Microarrays
  A slide show.
• Practical Bioinformatics
  A lecture series, held at the University of Jena in the summer semester 2000. The lectures cover topics like DNA sequence alignment methods, pattern recognition in DNA sequences (gene finding), functional genomics, molecular evolution and phylogenetics. Don't be put off by the German titles; the actual papers are in English (well, at least those I had a look at).

Institutes

• TIGR: The Institute for Genomics Research

Microarray literature

• Harvard Bioinformatics Journal Club

Microarray software

• Terry Speed's software
• Microarray analysis and database softwares comparison
• Genesis: Cluster Analysis for Large Scale Gene Expression Studies
• More cluster analysis
• SOTA: The Self-Organising Tree Algorithm (SOTA), is a neural network that grows adopting the topology of a binary tree.The result of the algorithm is a hierarchical cluster obtained with the accuracy and robustness of a neural network.
