Finding Hidden Messages in DNA (Bioinformatics I)
Join Us in a Top 50 MOOC of All Time!How do we sequence and compare genomes? How do we identify the genetic basis for disease? How do we construct an evolutionary Tree of Life for all species on Earth?When you complete this Specialization, you will learn how to answer many questions in modern biology that have become inseparable from the computational approaches used to solve them. You will also obtain a toolkit of existing software resources built on these computational approaches and that are used by thousands of biologists every day in one of the fastest growing fields in science.Although t

Pavel Pevzner
Pavel Pevzner (https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~ppevzner/) is Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at University of California San Diego (UCSD), where he holds the Ronald R. Taylor Chair and has taught a informatics Algorithms course for the last 12 years. In 2006, he was named a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor. In 2011, he founded the Algorithmic logy Laboratory in St. Petersburg, Russia, which develops online bioinformatics platform Rosalind (https://rosalind.info). His research concerns the creation of bioinformatics algorithms for analyzing genome rearrangements, DNA sequencing, and computational proteomics. He authored Computational Molecular logy (The MIT Press, 2000), co-authored (jointly with Neil Jones) An Introduction to informatics Algorithms (The MIT Press, 2004), and co-edited (with Ron Shamir) informatics for logists (Cambridge University Press, 2011). For his research, he has been named a Fellow of both the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the International Society for Computational logy (ISCB).
