Week 1 - Week 1: Introduction to Sequence Alignment
Welcome to class!
If you joined us in the previous course in this Specialization, then you became an expert at assembling genomes and sequencing antibiotics. The next natural question to ask is how to compare DNA and amino acid sequences. T...
Week 2 - Week 2: From Finding a Longest Path to Aligning DNA Strings
Welcome to Week 2 of the class!
Last week, we saw how touring around Manhattan and making change in a Roman shop help us find a longest common subsequence of two DNA or protein strings.
This week, we will study how to find a highest scoring ...
Week 3 - Week 3: Advanced Topics in Sequence Alignment
Welcome to Week 3 of the class!
Last week, we saw how a variety of different applications of sequence alignment can all be reduced to finding the longest path in a Manhattan-like graph.
This week, we will conclude the current chapter by cons...
Week 4 - Week 4: Genome Rearrangements and Fragility
Welcome to Week 4 of the class!
You now know how to compare two DNA (or protein) strings. But what if we wanted to compare entire genomes? When we "zoom out" to the genome level, we find that substitutions, insertions, and deletions don't tell...
Week 5 - Week 5: Applying Genome Rearrangement Analysis to Find Genome Fragility
Last week, we asked whether there are fragile regions in the human genome. Then, we took a lengthy detour to see how to compute a distance between species genomes, a discussion that we will continue this week.
It is probably unclear how computing th...
Week 6 - Week 6: Bioinformatics Application Challenge
In the sixth and final week of the course, we will apply sequence alignment algorithms to infer the non-ribosomal code.

Éditeur

L' Université de Californie à San Diego est une université publique de recherche sur les concessions de terres à San Diego, en Californie. Établi en 1960 près de la Scripps Institution of Oceanography préexistante, l'UC San Diego est le plus méridional des dix campus de l' Université de Californie et offre plus de 200 programmes menant à un diplôme de premier cycle et des cycles supérieurs, recrutant 33 096 étudiants de premier cycle et 9 872 étudiants des cycles supérieurs.

L'UC San Diego est considérée comme l'une des meilleures universités au monde. Plusieurs publications ont classé les départements de sciences biologiques et d'informatique de l'UC San Diego parmi les 10 meilleurs au monde.

Plateforme

Coursera est une entreprise numérique proposant des formations en ligne ouverte à tous fondée par les professeurs d'informatique Andrew Ng et Daphne Koller de l'université Stanford, située à Mountain View, Californie.

Ce qui la différencie le plus des autres plateformes MOOC, c'est qu'elle travaille qu'avec les meilleures universités et organisations mondiales et diffuse leurs contenus sur le web.
