More about this course
  • In this capstone project course, we'll compare genome sequences of COVID-19 mutations to identify potential areas a drug therapy can look to target
  • The first step in drug discovery involves identifying target subsequences of theirs genome to target.
  • We'll start by comparing the genomes of virus mutations to look for similarities
  • Then, we'll perform PCA to cut down our number of dimensions and identify the most common features. Next, we'll use K-means clustering in Python to find the optimal number of groups and trace the lineage of the virus
  • Finally, we'll predict similarity between the sequences and use this to pick a target subsequence
  • Throughout the course, each section will consist of a programming assignment coupled with a guide video and helpful hints
