Graph Algorithms in Genome Sequencing
by Pavel Pevzner , Phillip Compeau- 0.0
3 Weeks
Learn how graphs are used to assemble millions of pieces of DNA into a contiguous genome and use these genomes to construct a Tree of Life. In this course, part of the Algorithms and Data Structures MicroMasters program, you will learn how graph algorithms are used in two fundamental problems in modern biology:...

Dynamic Programming: Applications In Machine Learning and Genomics
by Pavel Pevzner , Phillip Compeau- 0.0
4 Weeks
Learn how dynamic programming and Hidden Markov Models can be used to compare genetic strings and uncover evolution. If you look at two genes that serve the same purpose in two different species, how can you rigorously compare these genes in order to see how they have evolved away from each other?...

Introduction to Genomic Data Science
by Pavel Pevzner , Phillip Compeau- 0.0
Join us on the frontier of bioinformatics and learn how to look for hidden messages in DNA without ever needing to put on a lab coat. In the first half of this course, we'll investigate DNA replication, and ask the question, where in the genome does DNA replication begin? Perhaps surprisingly, we will apply randomized algorithms to solve problems....
