About the Course

Named a top 50 MOOC of all time by Class Central! This course begins a series of classes illustrating the power of computing in modern
biology. Please join us on the frontier of bioinformatics to look for hidden messages in DNA without ever needing to put on a lab coat. In the
first half of the course, we investigate DNA replication, and ask the question, where in the genome does DNA replication begin? We will see
that we can answer this question for many bacteria using only some straightforward algorithms to look for hidden messages in the genome. In
the second half of the course, we examine a different biological question, when we ask which DNA patterns play the role of ...
