Introduction to Genomic Technologies (Coursera)

This course introduces you to the basic biology of modern genomics and the experimental tools that we use to measure it. We'll introduce the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology and cover how next-generation sequencing can be used to measure DNA, RNA, and epigenetic patterns. You'll also get an introduction [...]

Genome Sequencing (Bioinformatics II) (Coursera)

You may have heard a lot about genome sequencing and its potential to usher in an era of personalized medicine, but what does it mean to sequence a genome? Biologists still cannot read the nucleotides of an entire genome as you would read a book from beginning to end. [...]

Genomics in the NHS: A Clinician's Guide to Genomic Testing for Rare Disease (FutureLearn)

Explore the practicalities of genomic testing in the NHS, when to consider genomics, and the patient pathway for rare disease. Build your knowledge of the genomic testing pathway for rare disease. The widescale availability of genomic sequencing in the NHS brings new possibilities for patients but means new concepts, [...]

The Power of Genomics to Understand the COVID-19 Pandemic (FutureLearn)

Gain insights into tracking, treating, preventing, and preparing for pandemics through genome sequencing and data sharing. See how viral genomics can improve the response to COVID-19 and future pandemics. Genomics is crucial in understanding and responding to pandemics, including COVID-19. On this three-week course, you’ll learn key concepts in [...]

Whole Genome Sequencing: Decoding the Language of Life and Health (FutureLearn)

Learn how whole genome sequencing works and what it could mean for the future of healthcare with this free online course. Whole genome sequencing is a relatively new technology that allows us to ‘read’ a person’s or organism’s entire genetic code. But how does it work and what does [...]

Bacterial Genomes: Disease Outbreaks and Antimicrobial Resistance (FutureLearn)

Explore the genomes of bacteria and the use of genome sequencing to track harmful disease and AMR. The increase in resistance of harmful bacteria to antibiotics is a major global threat to health. Here we explore bacterial genomes and the use of genome sequencing to identify and track these [...]
