Where Genomes Meet Computers: Explore the World of Computational Genomics

About this Class

It took over $3 billion and 13 years to sequence the first human genome. Today, we can sequence a genome in a single day for less than $1,000.  That incredible technological advancement has led to the generation of petabases of genomic data every year, equivalent to sequencing millions of human genomes annually.  Computational genomics, the process of analyzing these massive datasets, is the essential link that transforms the flood of raw information into usable insights to address human health challenges, agricultural inefficiencies, wildlife conservation, and more.  In this webinar, we will discuss the breadth of topics under the computational genomics umbrella and how they connect to real-world innovations.
