In this class we will cover the essentials of genomics to help you better understand your own life (know thy genome, know thyself), and how advances in biotechnology are radically changing the scientific landscape. It begins with some of the most basic issues of genetics, such as the composition of genomes and how the information in them is processed so we can get an adult human from an egg. Then we’ll see that much of the power of genomics is in comparisons. All are welcome to join us in this adventure. Some previous exposure to biology will enrich your experience with this course (6 weeks long). Follow this link to enroll the course for free: https://www.coursera.org/course/genes Happy Learning!!
