WEEK 1
Introduction
In this first week, we'll introduce the project and get you oriented to the tasks that you'll be performing over the next several weeks.
1 video, 6 readings expand
- Video: Introduction to the Capstone - Kasper Hansen
- Reading: Welcome
- Reading: The big question
- Reading: What you will be doing in this capstone project
- Reading: Passing the Capstone
- Reading: Why re-analysis?
- Reading: Why is this so hard?
WEEK 2
Introduction to the Dataset - Andrew Jaffe
This week, we'll really dig into the dataset by providing an introduction from Andrew Jaffe, the lead scientist on the analysis. You should also be looking ahead to Task 2, which is due in Week 4; the alignment will take a long time to perform, so you should start early.
1 video, 3 readings expand
- Video: The Dataset - Andrew Jaffe
- Reading: Phenotype information
- Reading: Getting the data from SRA
- Reading: Which samples to use
WEEK 3
Understand the Problem
The purpose of genomic data science is to answer fundamental questions in biology. Before starting on the data analysis process, the first step is always to understand the scientific question you are trying to answer. Don't forget to stay on top of the alignment task due in Week 4; it will take a long time to accomplish and shouldn't be put off.
1 video, 1 reading expand
- Reading: Task 1 Instructions
- Video: The Results - Andrew Jaffe
- Discussion Prompt: What did you find challenging about task 1?
Graded: Understand the problem
WEEK 4
Alignment
Once you have understood the problem, the next step is to obtain the raw data so that you can perform your analysis.

- Discussion Prompt: What did you find challenging about task 2?
Graded: Alignment
WEEK 5
QC the Alignment
Now you have aligned the data, the next step is to do some quality control to make sure that the data are in good shape.
2 items expand
- Discussion Prompt: What did you find challenging about task 3?
Graded: QC the Alignment
WEEK 6
Get Feature Counts
Now that you have performed alignment and quality control, the next step is to calculate the abundance of every gene in every sample.

- Discussion Prompt: What did you find challenging about task 4?
Graded: Get Feature Counts
WEEK 7
Exploratory Analysis
After summarizing your genomic data the next step is to load the data into R for analysis with Bioconductor.
2 items expand
- Discussion Prompt: What did you find challenging about task 5?
Graded: Exploratory Analysis
WEEK 8
Statistical Analysis
The next step is to perform a statistical analysis to detect genes that are differentially expressed.
2 items expand
- Discussion Prompt: What did you find challenging about task 6?
Graded: Statistical Analysis
WEEK 9
Gene Set Analysis
In task 6, we have identified genes differentially expressed between fetal and adult brain. Now we will examine these results in a wider context.
3 items expand
- Discussion Prompt: What did you find challenging about task 7?
- Peer Review: Optional Peer Review of Your Report Draft
Graded: Gene Set Analysis
WEEK 10
Describe Your Analysis
The next step is to document your work. One of the major issues in genomic data science is that there are so many steps in the process. If these steps are not documented well the result can be major problems.
