About the Course

This course provides demonstrations and exercises for performing common genomics-based analysis tasks of bacterial sequence data. It uses BV-BRC, the Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (merger of PATRIC, IRD and ViPR, the three former resources), as the platform for analysis. BV-BRC is the NIH/NIAID-funded bacterial Bioinformatics Resource Center, providing comprehensive bacterial genomic data with integrated analysis tools and visualizations. BV-BRC also provides a private workspace where users can upload and analyze their own data. Course participants will gain skills needed to do comparative analysis of bacterial genomes, starting with raw sequence data.The lessons in the first module cover genome assembly, annotation, phylogenetic tree construction, and protein family / proteome comparisons. Each lesson builds on the previous, creating a complete baseline analysis workflow. NOTE: The exercises in this course were developed using the PATRIC, the predecessor system to BV-BRC. However, BV-BRC was built from PATRIC, so most of the content is still the same....

It was a very useful and easy-to-learn course. But I noticed that the database has been updated and there are a lot more changes and features available than the ones that are taught in the present lectures. I would like to suggest to update the course. Moreover, week 7 and 8 of the course is a bit confusing and many of the lecture seems to be arranged wrongly. The features taught in the earlier lectures are connected with the features downward. Anyways, it was a good course to learn and be part of it.

Thank you Coursera and PATRIC.
