Course overview

Genetics is the scientific study of genes and heredity, or how certain qualities or traits are transmitted from parents to offspring due to variations in the DNA sequence. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for the construction of one or more molecules that aid in the functioning of the body. The double helix structure of DNA resembles a corkscrew-twisting ladder. The two ladder rails are referred to as backbones, while the rungs are pairs of the four building blocks (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) known as bases. Genetics and Next Generation Sequencing for Bioinformatics online certification, which is made accessible by Udemy to individuals interested in entering the field of Bioinformatics and curious about the recent advances in DNA sequencing technology.

What you will learn

Knowledge of genetics

Genetics and Next Generation Sequencing for Bioinformatics certification course, Participants will get a thorough understanding of the concepts involved in next-generation DNA sequencing analysis, a cloud-based platform called galaxy for the analysis of large datasets, assess the quality of raw data, and learn how to use FastQC and trimmomatic to improve data quality. The aspirant will comprehend the patterns of inheritance in dominant and recessive alleles, codominance and incomplete dominance, many genes for a trait, linked inheritance of alleles, preparing DNA libraries for NGS, types of sequencing as well as somatic variants and cancer, and NGS for personalized cancer treatment.
