About the Course

What is a genome? A genome contains all of the information that a cell needs to develop, function, and reproduce itself, and all the information
needed for those cells to come together to form a person, plant, or animal. Genomes contain an organism’s complete set of genes, and also
the even tinier genetic structures that help regulate when and how those genes are used. The ability to regrow a torn ligament, the clues that
might predict the onset of mental illness, the nutritional potential of crops, and even the history of life itself, are all encoded in genomes. By

Nice course with the basics of genomics. The activities are according to the lessons. There are a lot of active people, so you do not have to worry about waiting for peer activities.

The course should focus more on the achievemnts of the professors, than a description of what they are doing. So you can get more information about Genomics.

Eu não consigo entender o que devo fazer no curso, os videos são simples e muito bons, mas as tarefas, são muito complicadas, o meu prazo expirou e eu ainda não entendo o porque disso, tentei de todas as formas procurar ajuda e entrar em contato, mas não consegui . O sistema de tarefa e atividades de vocês é extremamente confuso, e me ocupou um tempo precioso, agora terei de recompensar o meu tempo perdido.
