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.

Great introduction to Genomics. The instructors really laid out the practical terms and gave great resources. Weeks 3 and 4 ramp up in difficulty, so some outside research in statistics is helpful.

This course was very interesting, I would have loved to have more "practical" exercises where I would have manipulated actual genomics data in Python or R.

Wish it was a bit more challenging for those of us in scientific research, but I understand the need to be broadly applicable. Enjoyed it and learned a lot.

A good basic overview of the subject. Can be skipped if you have some biology background as many of these topics are covered during a standard sequence.

Good and helpful introduction on genomics. The use of real life examples was especially important on how we use, protect and analyze our data.

Very text heavy based but worth the learning. I found the end paper reading is quite technical science paper yet really focusing on analysis

The course introduces lots of familiar topics, but challenges in the questioning part which also could be thought in the video lecture.

Muy bueno para empezar con los conceptos básicos necesarios antes de adentrarse de lleno en bioinformática y ciencia de datos genómicos

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.
