Week 1: Introduction to Read Mapping
<p>Welcome to our class! We are glad that you decided to join us.</p><p>In this class, we will consider the following two central biological questions (the computational approaches needed to solve them are shown in parentheses):</p><ol><li>How Do We Locate Disease-Causing Mutations? (<em>Combinatorial Pattern Matching</em>)</li><li>Why Have Biologists Still Not Developed an HIV Vaccine? (<em>Hidden Markov Models</em>)</li></ol><p>As in previous courses, each of these two chapters is accompanied by a Bioinformatics Cartoon created by talented artist Randall Christopher and serving as a chapter header in the Specialization's bestselling <a href="http://bioinformaticsalgorithms.com" target="_blank">print companion</a>. You can find the first chapter's cartoon at the bottom of this message. </p><p><img src="https://stepic.org/media/attachments/lessons/292/chapter7_cropped.jpg" title="Image: https://stepic.org/media/attachments/lessons/292/chapter7_cropped.jpg" width="528"></p>

Principales reseñas sobre FINDING MUTATIONS IN DNA AND PROTEINS (BIOINFORMATICS VI)
It was probably my favorite in this specialization (at least, out of first six).
The contents were so well organized and helpful to develop a proper insight
Really enjoyed this course. It was great to get to build on work from previous courses.
In depth and comprehensive coverage of the topics in genetic data analysis.
