Introduction to Genomic Technologies

Great foundation for Genomic Technologies !

Explains genomic technologies and important statistical tools needed to effectively start more in depth study.

A thorough, yet concise introduction to the specialization and to some of the technical difficulties associate with genomic technologies.

Its called an introduction to genomic technologies and that is basically what it is.

Nice, low commitment class to provide some background to genomic technologies.

Mostly, it is an interesting course, although it is very short - if a person knows something about molecular biology, then it is feasible to finish it a couple of hours.

Molecular biology basics were covered so quickly and with terms and concepts pulled almost out of thin air, anyone without a pretty substantial background would probably be lost fairly quickly.

You will need some basic knowledge in molecular biology and statistics in order to better understand video lectures It was a really good overview to step into the field.

I highly recommend this course for everybody who has literally no biological background and would like to learn something about Molecular Biology and Genomics.

Very timely and with sufficient information Good for debutants I think this course was a good introduction to various aspects of genomic data science.

I liked the section on statistics, where a real life example was used to motivate the importance of statistics in genomic data science.

The course is a good introduction into genomic data science, I disliked last week because teacher gave too many unnecessary information.

A great introductory course in genomic data science.

A good introduction to the topics and concepts in the field of genomic data science in general as well as the other courses in this specialisation.I did this course close to the last (6th) being a professional in the Bioscience field for some time and so the first three 'weeks' I pretty much did in a couple of hours with close to full marks (not a boast but a statement: this course will give you the overview I accumulated in the real world; there is nothing esoteric or missing from this course).

A very basic and general introduction to the subject This course was a good introduction to this subject.

I learn a lot from this course about very basic knowledge and history of development of genomic technologies.

Just a couple of topics are covered at a very basic level.

Highly recommend especially if you are already familiar with biology and/or computer science but want to specialize in genomics.

The last module and the final paper was a little confuse for whom is not from Biology (I'm from computer science).

Very basic introduction to genomics including both biology knowledge as well as computer science application in genomics.

It provides a very good overview of what is to be expected in the other courses while at the same time establishing a good foundation for what is to come.

The final assessment I found a little quirky compared to the other courses I'd done being a comprehension style 'read a research paper + answer questions' rather than a 'enter the number of X given conditions Y applied to dataset Z' as many of the other course use.
