BLUF: MITx Course: Genetics: Population Genetics and Human Traits – Free Starts NOW!
Several years ago, I took their course: DNA – The Secret of Life; taught by Prof. Eric Lander – short bite-sized videos (some of which I watched several times); interspersed with a quiz; including labs and aside material – very close to a real life classroom experience – better than a Zoom (you can pause and rerun). Self-paced but covers a semester class. These MITx classes are available FREE! I highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to take a deep-dive into DNA. In one segment you’ll learn that the DNA base pairs are read in the 5 prime to 3 prime direction…

Great. I originally signed up 3 weeks late, and finished about 2 weeks late – it’s self paced, which was nice.

The MITx class is indeed excellent. I took it several years ago for a grade when it was offered as a MOOC (massively open, online course) through the EdX consortium. The course will challenge and deepen one’s understanding of DNA. Dr. Eric Lander is an outstanding teacher, researcher, and science advisor to the government.

Andy, agreed. One side video in the course was the guy doing Gangnam Style at MIT; then Prof Lander doing Gangnam on a lab table – he’s a hoot, in addition to being a great treacher. The DNA class was for non-biology folks.
