About the Course

This course introduces you to the basic biology of modern genomics and the experimental tools that we use to measure it. We'll introduce the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology and cover how next-generation sequencing can be used to measure DNA, RNA, and epigenetic patterns. You'll also get an introduction to the key concepts in computing and data science that you'll need to understand how data from next-generation sequencing experiments are generated and analyzed. This is the first course in the Genomic Data Science Specialization....

It was well taught. I liked the fact the two professors focused on two different subjects- biology and statistics portion of this course. The paragraphs written below each video was extremely helpful.

Relatively nice introduction course, contents are maybe rather limited, yet as an instructive course, it does provide a clear overview which correlates well with the required answers for the quizzes!

This course is an amazing. What students have to do to excel in this course is, they have to study from authentic additional material.

I learned all the basic concepts of genomics.

I still don't know any specific concepts, but I hope to acquire them in further courses.

Thank you for the course! I believe more interactivity (with intercalated quizzes) would help content to be absorbed by learners.

it would be better if graphical representation are included for easy understanding, to the students who are going into gemonics .

Excellent topic, though challenging in the sense that it requires multi-field knowledge, biology, comp. science, and statistics

Though the content is introductory and general concepts, it could have been done in a slower pace and a little bit more detail.

It was fun, however, the part with the project was toughest and I think I need to be more prepared to handle such tasks

Nice overview of the genomic technologies. Explanations about the bases are great but maybe a little old for the 20's.

The last assignment, reading a scientific paper was quite lame. And, the course needs to be updated - it six year old.

it was interesting course but the part of statistics was severely complicated and should be taught in simple language.

Time of each video is limited, so lots of content are just mentioned without going deeper. Just a introductory course.

Good information. I would request more activity based learning instead monotonous one-men presentation.
