Recommendations for free MOOC on genetics please?

Hi,

I'm currently studying for a masters in computer science, and have recently developed an interest in genetics. I don't have much of a background in either biology or chemistry, but enjoy learning :)

Are there any MOOCs that are broadly recommended by the genetics community?

I am currently considering starting with one of:

Genomics: Decoding the Universal Language of Life

Introduction to Genetics and Evolution

...and then possibly following with:

Become a next generation sequencing data scientist

...Or a selection from

Genomic Data Science Specialization (John Hopkins Uni)

Can anyone share their experiences with these, or other genetics MOOCs? Any other courses or learning resource recommendations would also be much appreciated!

Thanks :)

Help a high school junior

So I am taking two courses on Genomics and Precision medicine which are:

https://www.coursera.org/learn/genomics-research

https://www.coursera.org/learn/genomic-precision-medicine

and I find them very interesting and intriguing, I will be able to complete them by 20th March.

​

I want suggestions from you all that as a beginner after doing these courses, What kind of Projects I should do, and as a high school student I would not have access to much advanced Lab equipments.

​

I wish to study Computer science with Molecular Biology major at college

PS: After learning for 2-3 months I also wanted to do a basic independent research on this topic too, any suggestion for that are also Welcome
