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!

•Totally love this course. Illustrated the basics of genomics, computational biology and statistics in a very simple and clear way. Helped elucidating many previously confounding concepts, eg, genomics vs genetics, permutaion test, etc...
par Andriy D
•The course had a relevant pace, gettnig more and more complex and difficult in later weeks. The overall explanations were easy-to-understand, well described and interesting enough that this was my only second course finished on Coursera!
par Maria G D
•Very interesting course. With a little investment of time, the course offer a good introduction, it is full of content and the final task is very interesting.
Very satisfied and lookin forward to the next course of the specialization.
par sandeep K
•This course briefs the basics required to understand the role of genomics and importance of statistics in big data analysis. I appreciate the efforts done by instructor to teach this tough course in easy way with good examples.
par Kovalt J
•Comprehensive Introduction to Genomic bioinformatics. Including a brief and precise introduction to central dogma - dna->rna->protein, the basic algorithm in bioinformatics, and how the importance of statistics in this field.
par Seram A S
•Truly, a wonderful introduction to an interesting course. Got difficulties somewhere especially in the final project article. Will definitely complete the entire specialization. Thanks you to the amazing faculties.
par Mladen R
•It was a really good course for introduction with the genomics and all related to it. I like that the course can be attended without paying the fee, unlike some others in this Specialization. Keep up the good work!
par kayod F
•Brilliantly put together with conversational language thus making it very easy to follow all the videos. The instructors are experts in the field thus were able to make the course very simple, yet with good depth!

•I am very motivated after doing this course. The method of teaching was awesome. I really loved the course. Thanks Steven Salzberg, Jeff Leek, John Hopkins and Coursera for such a wonderful learning opportunity.
par Camila F G
•I just loved the course, I feel like it's what I needed right now. I intend to use the knowledge gained in a better planning of my doctoral project and future analyses. Thanks for the course, you were great!
par Afreen A
•Really educational introductory course. My only suggestion would be to add more info or more basic information on the biostatistics part of the course for those who may not have a statistics background
par Fadipe T O
•This is an amazing introductory course which prepares the student ahead for other courses in the specialization. It also lays a solid foundation and stimulates interest in completing the specialization.

•Very helpful courses with detailed quiz. And the reading material was re-edited in a very thought way. It helped a lot in reading the content and understanding the logic behind the content.
par Edson R A d O
•Clear and concise. Ministered by researchers with outstanding background in research, able to translate topics of relatively high complexity into easy language for a broad audience.
par Shahrooz Z
•The tutorial videos were concise while delivering the essential material. The speakers were also engaging and it was a joy to watch them. Overall fairly satisfied with the course.
par Hafiz A H
•I belongs to Computer Science background instead of biological background this course enhanced my visualization and gave me answers of all why's related to computational biology .
par Yangfan L
•This course is very friendly to those who have little background on both biology or computer science. All the courses are given in a logical and interpretable way. Good courses.
par Haifa G
•Having a Computer Science background, the course helped me understand the foundational knowledge of Biology and Statistics. The explanations were easy to understand and digest.
par Simran V
•The course very well primes you for what's to come. The examples and questions are highly relevant to what is done in the field, and addresses good data science practices.
par George K
•Basic material presented in a clear and organized way by top professionals in the field. Great brush up on genomics or useful to begin studies in a similar field.
par Hsiao-Chi L
•Nice module!!! I've learnt a lot!!
I love the instructors so much, they not only taught us the knowledge clearly but explained them in plain English.
Thanks!
par Greg N
•The explanations were very clear, and the content was simple enough to not be daunting yet the content was still very interesting, especially the final project.
par José F G C
•Amazing course and a great introduction for genomic data science, although people with general knowledge of genetics and statistics may find it a bit basic.
par Yemurayi H
•Great intro course if you already have a strong bioinformatics/ statistics background. Easy to get through and refresh your knowledge of computational bio.
