Great course! She actually teaches you what to do (the programming basics behind complicated genomic analysis) and why you are doing it. This was the most well taught and well designed course in this series so far, and helped me better understand earlier courses. Very glad that I jumped ahead in the series to take this one before the others.

In gratitude to Liliana Florea, the Coursera.org team along with the entire faculty of the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine and the Johns Hopkins University initiative. This course added knowledge and an indispensable baggage for me, who am starting in bioinformatics.

Learned a lot in this course. Very useful if you want to do NGS analysis. Week2 and Week4 were too vast. Flowcharts would be useful to know in which step we are in the analysis. VM didn't work for me. I installed all the tools on my machine to finish the assignments.

Great introduction to the command line tools for genomic sequencing, alignment and assembly. The content is valuable to understand the prior art of genomic sequencing that is now included in the Bioinformatics Toolkit with Matlab.

The awesome course, I had encountered in coursera for NGS analysis. This course made my dream come true on NGS analysis and helped my research a lot. I would thank the course for financial aiding me to achieve this course.

Great course. I have learned a lot! That was the first time I had used the unix command line. However, some of the tools are outdated for today's standards. I hope they make version 2 of this series with newer tools.

I recommend this course to be provided early along the Genomic Data Science Specialization, probably before "Genomic Data Science with Galaxy" as it would help make the later one much more easier to understand.

Great course. The last exam is a little bit tricky, specially when some commands are large and confusing. But with the help of forums, you can still find the right answers.

I use for decade UNIX command but this course opens my mind into new horizon on UNIX command , data science and I realize learn a lot from this learning time...

Big Thanks

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.

Thank You!

Very interesting and detailed course.

Most I liked the tasks: they are very detaild. Thanks to them I've leraned a lot of new things.

A very well planned course for beginners who don't have any experience with command line language for exploring genomic data

This is perhaps one of the most clearly taught courses I have had on Coursera. Thank you for putting in time to teach us!

Interesting course. I have used some of this tools for some time but I find their's still something new to learn

Leart a lot. Recommend all others this course. Lecturer also cool and explain every bit of course contents.

Very engaging course indeed. However, assignments were much harder and needed time to solve.

A really hard introduction to bioinformatics pipelines, it was difficult but was stimulant!

Very detailed and simply explained introduction to work in linux environment for biologist

Great resource to learn unix codes and prepare your self for analysing genomic data

very good course, the flow of the course is really good, learned so many things

This was one of the most valuable courses I have taken online.

Thank you

I really like this course! (The exams are a bit challenging though.)

very basic and useful command line tools for genomic data analysis.

Great course. I think it should be the first in the whole series.

I learned a LOT from this class and the instructor is very clear.
