- Week 1 - Course Orientation
You will become familiar with the course, your classmates, and our learning environment. The orientation will also help you obtain the technical skills required for the course. - Week 1 - What Is a Genome and Why Do We Care?
Genes, genomes, DNA: these words have slipped into our daily news cycles and our awareness, but what they actually mean often remains unclear. In these lessons, we aim to give you, not just the Biology 101 explanation of what a genome is, but a real-life persp... - Week 2 - What Were the First Genomes Like and How Do They Work Now?
You may have seen DNA visually represented in different ways: a twisted ladder, a tangle of string, an array of sloppy X shapes, a row of letters. But what is DNA actually doing, and how does it relate to genes and the genome? How are scientists able to move... - Week 3 - How Can We Use Genomes to Understand the Healthy Body and Fight Diseases?
Often, we hear about genes only when something goes wrong – when mutations, mistakes made in the DNA sequence, cause a disease like cancer cystic fibrosis. But what happens inside our cells that leads from a mutation in DNA to the physical symptoms of a diseas... - Week 4 - What Can Genomes Tell Us About How to Grow New Organs or New Crops?
If all the cells in all the tissues and organs of our bodies have the same genome, how is it that they can look so different? How does a hair cell, a white blood cell, or a brain cell know what to do or where to go? The answer can be found by looking beyond th... - Week 5 - How Might Genomes Allow Us to Predict Health Problems Before They Occur?
You may have heard of "nature vs. nurture" or the modern day response, "nature AND nurture!" But how does "nurture," the environment, act through the genome? Can the biological effects of experience be passed from one generation to the next? And what does all ... - Week 6 - How Do the Genomes of Ecosystem Members Cooperate or Conflict?
The world is a big and sometimes incomprehensibly complex place. Just as no gene in the genome acts in isolation, no living thing on this planet exists in isolation. In this final module of the course, we explore some of the rich, complicated interactions betw...

L’université de l’Illinois à Urbana-Champaign est fondée en 1867 (UIUC). Le campus principal de l’université de l’Illinois est situé dans les villes jumelles de Champaign et Urbana, à deux cents kilomètres au sud de Chicago.
Cette grande université est classée parmi les plus prestigieuses mondialement par divers moyens de mesure, comme le Center for World University Rankings qui la place 22ème mondialement pour la période 2020-21.
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.
