Any good videos about learning research?

I agree with the above, read literature. You will start to see a pattern of how things work.

To me, research boils down showing something to be reasonably true by proving it on multiple different levels. For example: If you state X molecule inhibits the expression of Y gene, there are multiple ways to prove this... but you need to show it on a few different levels for people to believe you. You can use qPCR to show Y gene expression is decreased in cells cultured with X molecule. Also, you can use a western blot to show the protein encoded by Y gene is decreased in cells cultured with X molecule. In addition, you can also show the difference in morphology of the cells cultured with X molecule (if phenotype is known to be affected by the protein encoded by Y gene). etc etc etc. Of course you need to have all your necessary controls, but if you can show something to appear to be true from many different angles, you can probably assume it is.

Do this for a few different things that are related and make a good argument to why its relevant and you can probably publish it.
