Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression
by Dr. Marnie BlewittTop Instructor- 4.8
Approx. 17 hours to complete
While the human genome sequence has transformed our understanding of human biology, it isn’t just the sequence of your DNA that matters, but also how you use it! How are some genes activated and others are silenced? How is this controlled? The answer is epigenetics. This course will give an introduction to the fundamentals of epigenetic control....
General Pathophysiology

Metagenomics applied to surveillance of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance
by Ana Sofia Ribeiro Duarte , Tine Hald , Sünje Johanna Pamp , Patrick Munk , Liese Van Gompel , Valeria Bortolaia , Pimlapas Leekitcharoenphon- 4.7
Approx. 15 hours to complete
The field of metagenomics and whole community sequencing is a promising area to unravel the content of microbial communities and their relationship to disease and antimicrobial resistance in the human population. Bioinformatic tools are extremely important for making sense out of metagenomics data, by estimating the presence of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance determinants in complex samples....
Introduction to Reproduction
by Teresa K. Woodruff, Ph.D.- 4.6
Approx. 15 hours to complete
Do you have questions about sex hormones or menstrual cycles? This is a crash-course in human reproductive health through fact and biology-based information on a variety of topics. "Sex 101" will cover reproductive anatomy, key biological changes during puberty, sexual biology and contraceptive methods, reproductive disorders, and a special introduction to the exciting field of Oncofertility....
Classical papers in molecular genetics
by Dominique Belin- 4.7
Approx. 28 hours to complete
You have all heard about the DNA double helix and genes. Many of you know that mutations occur randomly, that the DNA sequence is read by successive groups of three bases (the codons), that many genes encode enzymes, and that gene expression can be regulated. Session 1 Introduction Part 1 - Perspective...
Organ Donation: From Death to Life
by David Thomson- 4.8
Approx. 16 hours to complete
Considering someone for organ and tissue donation at the end of life is complicated. The boundary between life and death is more complex than ever before and it falls to medical professionals to help clarify a situation at an often confusing and emotionally stressful time.

Protists: Evolution and Ecology of Microbial Eukaryotes
by Olga Knyazeva , Sergei Korsun , Zlatogursky Vasiliy , Ilya Udalov , Vladimir Klimov , Granovitch, Andrei- 4.1
Approx. 23 hours to complete
Life on Earth appears to be dominated by higher plants and animals. Yet an immense variety of microbial eukaryotes swarm in the foliage, grass, soil, bogs, ponds, streams, lakes, and oceans. These inconspicuous organisms are flagellates, algae, ciliates, sarcodines, slime molds, apicomplexans. This assemblage is generally termed the protists. Our course is to build a comprehensive picture of protistan diversity....
Генетика (Genetics)
by Анна Юшкова- 4.9
Approx. 34 hours to complete
Несколько десятилетий назад определение нуклеотидной последовательности ДНК организма было почти невыполнимой задачей. Сегодня же секвенирование ДНК стало для специалистов чуть ли не рутинной работой – и тщательное изучение геномов принесло множество сюрпризов. Например, ученые обнаружили в генетическом материале ядерных организмов до 98 % молчащей, не кодирующей белки ДНК. Какие тайны скрываются в этих участках?...
Feeding the World
by David Galligan , James Ferguson- 4.7
Approx. 20 hours to complete
This course will explore the concepts driving current food production science (population growth, urbanization, emerging affluence, resource constraints, and underlying biological limits) with the main focus on livestock production. Each of the major food animal species (dairy, swine, beef, and poultry) will be covered in terms of their universal life cycles, constraints to production and emerging societal issues....
