    About the Course

    Large-scale biology projects such as the sequencing of the human genome and gene expression surveys using RNA-seq, microarrays and other
    technologies have created a wealth of data for biologists. However, the challenge facing scientists is analyzing and even accessing these data
    to extract useful information pertaining to the system being studied. This course focuses on employing existing bioinformatic resources –
    mainly web-based programs and databases – to access the wealth of data to answer questions relevant to the average biologist, and is highly
    hands-on. Topics covered include multiple sequence alignments, phylogenetics, gene expression data analysis, and protein i...

    The very last assignment wouldn't work for me, for the final question. Total bummer. I was doing everything according to instructions and even checking but it wouldn't work. Don't feel like explaining but the conversion to mega just was faulty, and the instructor's instructions to fix the problem didn't help either.

    Also, one of the questions in the final assignment was nowhere in the reading.

    But overall a nice intro and not too difficult.

    A short and sweet, to-the-point course. This course helped me in getting a hang of some of the most widely used softwares and techniques required for bioinformatics. Only issue-some of the questions in certain quizzes have been assigned wrong choices as the answer, which led to a lot of confusion. They just wouldnt accept the right answer, so you are forced to mark the wrong ones and proceed.

    It Was A Very Interesting Course For My First Introduction To Bioinformatics. It Changed My Views That Biological Discoveries Only Involves Working In A Laboratory With Chemicals And Biological Samples.

    It Felt Really Interesting That Even In Biology We Can Use Computer Software's To Generate Results Which Are Of Immense Importance To Scientists & Researchers.

    A nice introduction to bioinformatic methods. I learned some useful skills from this course that I'll be able to implement in my future research. I would recommend that people who take the course do some reading outside of the course material as sometimes the lectures skim over things with an expectation that you know it all.

    It is extremely complex if you do not previously have a notion of some concepts in Bioinformatics. The best thing one can do is read and reread to understand the content of the course. But it helped me to understand certain Bioinformatics topics that are not studied in depth at the University. Thanks :D

    Sometimes the information It's not that clear, they show basic information and then is hard to underestand everything to set it toghether. Any way, so usefull and interesting and a good way to get close to this tecniques that are becaming son important nowdays.

    It was easy to follow, although some answers to the tests were wrong due to updates in the databases were are suposed to use. I wish it was a litlle more challenging (optional), but it porvided me with the basic knowledge to start my own learning.

    Great course for learning about current analysis methods and wonderful way to discover the amount of information you can extract from a DNA or protein sequence. Good explaining and summarizing of important bioinformatic content for begginers

    I enjoy this course, it will be very helpfull for my academic project and give new ideas of studies. I have some difficulties to follow the steps in the few labs exercises, but it does not comprimise the whole course.

    There should be a lab review after each lab.If the 'Selection Pressure' segment was a bit more simple, it would be easier to understand. Discussion on other databases like TAIR,,FlyBase etc should be included.

    This is a great course, It helps me know more knowledge.

    But it is very difficult to understand. To need the method to help students easily.

    Thanks will run so much ..

    Very good starting point or restarting point for working with sequence data as a compuational biologist. Very clear course with good lab sessions.
