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....

Thanks to everyone who made this. Such can wait to start the second course. h a superb course; it started slowly and sort of an easy thing, but the last lecture was phenomenal

This course had gave me the overview of the statistical analyses for genomic data analysis. This is useful for me as I can employ those statistical Analyses knowledge in the near future

Good for someone who want to learn about genomic technologies. Those who wanna be expert in this field has to go a lot beyond this course. But this one will be a good start

there could be more reading materials for students to understanding some basic statistic terms, like FDR, FWER etc. Actually it's hard to me to understand the concept.

Good introductory course, highly interdisciplinary. You will need some basic knowledge in molecular biology and statistics in order to better understand video lectures

This course lays out the foundation for the rest of the Specialization. The course feels a little light on content but the concepts it does cover are well described.

The course material was interesting and at the right level of difficulty for an introduction. However, the course project was a very difficult scientific reading.

A good, general & quick overview to new technologies in Genomic Data Science.

Recommended to be completed not discretely, but with the entire Specialization Program.

Interesting topic, maybe an improvement could be to provide the material as one file and not many files one for each video (also easier to consult in the future).

Good introductory into the field. But very shallow, it just gives you hints about topics. The Content has to be deepen in some way. But overall excited course.

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 .

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

Very informative but could include more lessons to help with reading and understanding the research paper. Especially BLAST.
