  • The title is a bit misleading, since it covers many "omics", not genomics. This course assumes you've taken molecular biology. Very dense lectures, a quick course overall. Quizzes after each lecture but no final exam. It is meant as an overview of the field and not in depth; it will many times refer to a more advanced course that is available, but I have not been able to locate that course, even as an archived course on edX (like this one is).
