Learner Reviews & Feedback for Genome Sequencing (Bioinformatics II) by University of California San Diego
About the Course
sequence a genome? Biologists still cannot read the nucleotides of an entire genome as you would read a book from beginning to end.
However, they can read short pieces of DNA. In this course, we will see how graph theory can be used to assemble genomes from these short
pieces. We will further learn about brute force algorithms and apply them to sequencing mini-proteins called antibiotics. In the first half of the
course, we will see that biologists cannot read the 3 billion nucleotides of a human genome as you would read a book from b...

Great course to explore a bit of Bioinformatics for those with no background in Bioinformatics. I love the way the content has been provided, its interactivity increases the interest in the course.

I like the real-world tasks, especially the assembly on the final exam. Some of the programming tasks, such as the antibiotic noisy spectrum assembly, are challenging (which is good).

The exercises were challenging. But thanks to the community in Stepik, I can understand more details for the genome sequencing algorithms.
