M001: MongoDB Basics (MongoDB)

Offered by MongoDB University,
M001: MongoDB Basics (MongoDB)

Learn the fundamentals of MongoDB. In this course you will learn how to set up your database and start exploring different ways to search, create, and analyze your data with MongoDB. We will cover database performance basics, and discover how to get started with creating applications and visualizing your data.

We'll start together with the ultimate basics, learning what a database is and recognizing what makes MongoDB different in the database space. Then you'll move on to working with data as you grasp the difference between BSON and JSON and start to import, export and query. Next you'll absorb how to create and manipulate documents with hands-on learning, and skill-up to mastering advanced Create Read Update Delete (CRUD) operations. By this time you'll be ready to work on Indexing, Data Modeling, and creating an Aggregation Pipeline. Lastly you'll have the opportunity to explore the Atlas UI in more detail, investigate the Charts functionality and Realm, as well as explore the use of Compass.
This course is rich in hands-on learning and additional resources to support your educational experience with MongoDB University. It has been developed and taught by a MongoDB Curriculum Engineer at MongoDB University, where we strive to free the genius within everyone by making data stunningly easy to work with.
In this course you'll get your hands on all the basics, including querying, computing, connecting to, storing, indexing and analyzing your data.

Plant Bioinformatics Capstone (Coursera)

Engineering Sci: Physics

The past 15 years have been exciting ones in plant biology. Hundreds of plant genomes have been sequenced, RNA-seq has enabled transcriptome-wide expression profiling, and a proliferation of "-seq"-based methods has permitted protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions to be determined cheaply and in a high-throughput manner. These data sets in turn allow us to generate hypotheses at the click of a mouse or tap of a finger. In Plant Bioinformatics on Coursera.org, we covered 33 plant-specific online tools from genome browsers to transcriptomic data mining to promoter/network analyses and others, and in this Plant Bioinformatics Capstone we'll use these tools to hypothesize a biological role for a gene of unknown function, summarized in a written lab report.
