Reviews
TOP REVIEWS FROM COMMAND LINE TOOLS FOR GENOMIC DATA SCIENCE
There were some typos and confusion about the need not to follow the example code for Exam 4. However, I thought that the course was good and useful overall.\n\nThank You!
Th lecturer could be a little more engaging and the materials used during classes, if made available would help following it better, by replicating the examples being shown.
Some explanations are4 not completely clear. A good summary of what every tools does and of which rools should be used to tackle which situation would really beneficial
Very informative course. Only downside is that the example datasets/scripts are not provided (which I tend to find to be useful for learning informatics).
About the Genomic Data Science Specialization
With genomics sparks a revolution in medical discoveries, it becomes imperative to be able to better understand the genome, and be able to leverage the data and information from genomic datasets. Genomic Data Science is the field that applies statistics and data science to the genome.
