Course Overview

The Case Studies in Functional Genomics Online Course is an open online course that deals with the specialized study of RNA-seq data and DNA methylation data. The advanced level course can be opted for by students who have completed studies in Statistical Inference and Modelling for High-throughput Experiments and High-Dimensional Data Analysis.

The Case Studies in Functional Genomics Certification Course is offered on the Harvard X platform collaborated by edX and Harvard University. The course is delivered through online course materials and assignments. After the successful completion of the self-paced course, students will get a shareable certificate if they have opted for the verified track by paying the fee. Without the fee, the candidates can audit it for a limited duration. 

The Case Studies in Functional Genomics Training Course is taught over 5 weeks and coordinated by Rafael Irizarry, Michael Love, and Vincent Carey of Harvard University. The course will assist students who wish to gain proficiency and achieve a professional certificate in data analysis for genomics.
