What people are saying
computational biologists routinely use
While it adds to the workload, this change is very worthwhile -- it exposes you to databases and tools that computational biologists routinely use in the areas covered by the course.
from similar proteins despite
This final installment of the UCSD bioinformatics series covers two very important classes of tool (algorithms for read mapping, including the Burrows-Wheeler Transform, and hidden Markov models) that address two fascinating questions in computational biology: how do we locate disease-causing DNA mutations and how can we identify the function of a protein from similar proteins despite the cumulative effects of evolution?
locate disease-causing dna mutations
sessions start every month
Another change is that the course is now fully self-paced; although you sign up for a particular session, new sessions start every month and your work will carry over through multiple sessions.
much more difficult
Much more difficult than 1-5 or 7!
difficult than 1-5
eventually completed all
Although I found the course to be a superb learning experience and eventually completed all of the programming and peer-graded exercises, there was no way I could have done so in one six-week session with a full-time job.
genetic data analysis
In depth and comprehensive coverage of the topics in genetic data analysis.
markov model unit
The programming problems, particularly the later ones in the course, are pretty challenging, and no online textbook materials are provided for the hidden Markov model unit -- you have to rely solely on the lectures, which for me were sometimes hard to follow.
very interesting material
