Genome Sequencing (Bioinformatics II)
by Pavel Pevzner , Phillip Compeau- 4.6
Approx. 17 hours to complete
You may have heard a lot about genome sequencing and its potential to usher in an era of personalized medicine, but what does it mean to 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....
The Outcomes and Interventions of Health Informatics
by Harold P. Lehmann, MD, Ph.D. , Paul Nagy, PhD, FSIIM- 4.5
Approx. 7 hours to complete
For clinical data science to be effective in healthcare—to achieve the outcomes desired—it must translate into decision support of some sort, either at the patient, clinician, or manager level. Knowing Where to Intervene Motivation: Examples Should You? Should You? II: HIMSS Framework Does It Work? : Testing Is It Used? Does It Accomplish Goals?...
Molecular Evolution (Bioinformatics IV)
by Pavel Pevzner , Phillip Compeau- 4.6
Approx. 17 hours to complete
In the previous course in the Specialization, we learned how to compare genes, proteins, and genomes. One way we can use these methods is in order to construct a "Tree of Life" showing how a large collection of related organisms have evolved over time. How can we prove this? rex fossil closely matched peptides found in chickens....
Comparing Genes, Proteins, and Genomes (Bioinformatics III)
by Pavel Pevzner , Phillip Compeau , Nikolay Vyahhi- 4.7
Approx. 22 hours to complete
Once we have sequenced genomes in the previous course, we would like to compare them to determine how species have evolved and what makes them different. In the first half of the course, we will compare two short biological sequences, such as genes (i. e. , short sequences of DNA) or proteins....
Finding Mutations in DNA and Proteins (Bioinformatics VI)
by Pavel Pevzner , Phillip Compeau- 4.7
Approx. 24 hours to complete
In previous courses in the Specialization, we have discussed how to sequence and compare genomes. This course will cover advanced topics in finding mutations lurking within DNA and proteins. In the first half of the course, we would like to ask how an individual's genome differs from the "reference genome" of the species....
Genomic Data Science and Clustering (Bioinformatics V)
by Pavel Pevzner , Phillip Compeau- 4.2
Approx. 10 hours to complete
How do we infer which genes orchestrate various processes in the cell? How did humans migrate out of Africa and spread around the world? In this class, we will see that these two seemingly different questions can be addressed using similar algorithmic and machine learning techniques arising from the general problem of dividing data points into distinct clusters....
Bioinformatics Capstone: Big Data in Biology
by Phillip Compeau , Pavel Pevzner- 4.1
Approx. 14 hours to complete
In this course, you will learn how to use the BaseSpace cloud platform developed by Illumina (our industry partner) to apply several standard bioinformatics software approaches to real biological data. whole exome sequencing for finding potentially harmful mutations in a human sample. Week 1: Identifying the Culprit in a Food Poisoning Outbreak...
The Social and Technical Context of Health Informatics
by Harold P. Lehmann, MD, Ph.D.- 4.2
Approx. 9 hours to complete
Improving health and healthcare institutions requires understanding of data and creation of interventions at the many levels at which health IT interact and affect the institution. These levels range from the external “world” in which the institution operates down to the specific technologies. Who Is This Class For? Overview of Health Informatics...
Healthcare Data Literacy
by Brian Paciotti- 4.5
Approx. 13 hours to complete
This course will help lay the foundation of your healthcare data journey and provide you with knowledge and skills necessary to work in the healthcare industry as a data scientist. Healthcare is unique because it is associated with continually evolving and complex processes associated with health management and medical care. g....
The Data Science of Health Informatics
by Hadi H. K. Kharrazi, MD, Ph.D , Sam Meiselman- 4.7
Approx. 10 hours to complete
Health data are notable for how many types there are, how complex they are, and how serious it is to get them straight. These data are used for treatment of the patient from whom they derive, but also for other uses. Examples of such secondary use of health data include population health (e....
