I have been working on a list of core topics in bioinformatics for my class and also for the Bioinformatics program at Yale. I have been building this list by discussing it with others and obtaining their comments. I would now like to put this list forward for "crowd-sourced" editing and comments. I'd most appreciate if anyone would share their thoughts on the document linked below.

This document is available as an editable gdoc. It is best to do the edits in a "signed-in fashion on Google" (so there's a form of attribution for each person's edits). Alternatively, it could be done anonymously and one's name could be placed in the comments. I will try to gather all the comments from everyone and post them in an understandable fashion to the web in the future so that people can get a better document as well as a better sense of the range of discussion.
The document is meant to include main topics in bioinformatics and also the main prerequisites in statistics and computer science both on an undergraduate and graduate level. I put this together myself with a discussion from others at Yale and elsewhere. It is the best that I could do fairly quickly though I suspect it has lots of holes and overemphasizes certain areas. I'd welcome people pointing out these areas in their comments. (However, if you have anything really vitriolic to say, best to email me directly!)
I have preserved the original version of the document before commenting as a simple PDF or Doc file so people can see where I started from if the edits get a little confusing.
All of this work is part of my effort planning for bioinformatics and computational biology at Yale. If you are interested in this you might like related posts that I have done on this subject. Please see the link below and the following tag.

Updated (Again) Listing of US Programs in Bioinformatics, now with Standardized Codes & a Continued Solicitation for Edits
Please see editable Gsheet. Also, there's a frozen Gsheet and a downloadable spreadsheet.
This is a rough listing of a number of the computational biology and bioinformatics programs in the United States, with a little bit of commentary. I attempted to list the name of each program, a bit about its structure (such as a department, a center, an inter-departmental PhD granting program, etc.) and some aspect of its scale.
This is an update from my post about a year ago. Since then the landscape has evolved with new departments and institutes forming across the US. I've also tried to summarize many of the programs using standardized nomenclature and put them on a map (ppt, pdf & editable Gpresentation - with help from MTG in my lab).
The point of this list is to help me to continue to reflect on Yale's existing Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CBB) Program, which is an inter-departmental PhD granting entity.
I'm sure my list contains a number of inaccuracies, and I apologize for these in advance! I would really appreciate if people could help improve this. You can send suggestions to my email (see contact.gerstein.info) and I will update as appropriate. Even better: There are two gsheets, one frozen and one that anyone can edit. Please feel to edit the later as you see fit, listing your attribution in the first column. Last year there was a good response to this "crowdsourcing request."
Finally, you might find relevant some posts on my microblog that I've tagged related to computational biology program (cbb0mg, cbbplan0mg) and my class (cbb752). I've also posted some summary slides on the program (more recent set, earlier set) and paper from a few years ago describing our curriculum.
