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!

A quick introduction to the topics. Would like 1 or 2 more complex lectures at the end of weeks 3 and 4 as a teaser for some of the work to come.

Very basic and introductive to the following courses of the specialization path. Very clear explanation, waiting for the rest of the course.

Good overview, but not very detailed - very quick to go through and not for anyone who already knows something about the area of study.

This was a little light, despite the fact that this is not my area of expertise. It was a goo start overall, tho.

The lectures were too long and drawling. It would have been nice if lecture slides and readings were provided.

The course is very concentrated and short. I suggest to add more time and explain things in more detail.

Somewhat easy for an introductory course, but good for people without prior background.

Not worth the time for a person having a biology background.

The first 3 weeks are very engaging and informative.

Unfortunately, week 4 made an extremely abrupt switch to very abstract discussions of statistics, and the paper in the final project completely killed my interest. Even though I passed on my first attempt, it convinced me not to spend any more time on the specialisation.

The course is extremely basic & outdated. Data science part comes only in the last part of the course, the content could definitely be enhanced with the inclusion of few latest technology information and developed research paper for project work (current project work paper is 21-years-old)

Totally introductory course. If you have biological science background, you don't need to take it. If you are not, then you might take it. But you'll find it difficult at the end of the course(project).

its important to interact a little beat with the virtual student i mean is necessary use different activities apart of the questionare
