Development and teaching of a bioinformatics course to biochemistry major students in a Nigerian University during COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The influence of bioinformatics is pervasive affecting many biological disciplines resulting in changes in biosciences globally but not so in, Nigeria as the course is never taught in any public tertiary institution. This article describes development and teaching of bioinformatics integrated into bachelor's degree programme in biochemistry, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Resources from the course are available for use by colleagues and students.
