About

EdX is an online learning platform trusted by over 12 million users offering the Graph Algorithms in Genome Sequencing Certificate in collaboration with University of California, San Diego - UC San DiegoX. 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.

Overview

In the Graph Algorithms in Genome Sequencing Certificate, part of the Algorithms and Data Structures MicroMasters Program from University of California, San Diego - UC San DiegoX, you will learn how graph algorithms are used in two fundamental problems in modern biology:

  • How do we sequence a genome?
  • How do we construct an evolutionary “Tree of Life?"

In the first part of the course, you will learn how genome sequencing relies on using a graph to assemble millions of tiny DNA fragments into a contiguous genome. We will then shift gears and learn how to construct an evolutionary tree of life from genome data.

What you'll learn

  • Graph algorithms
  • Algorithms for genome assembly
  • Phylogenetics
