HarvardX Biomedical Data Science Open Online Training

In 2014 funding was received from the NIH BD2K initiative to develop MOOCs for biomedical data science. The courses are divided into the Data Analysis for the Life Sciences series, the Genomics Data Analysis series, and the Using Python for Research course.

This page includes links to the course material for the three courses:

Data Analysis for the Life Sciences:  Genomics Data Analysis Using Python for Research

Video lectures are included with, when available, an R markdown document to follow along, and the course itself. Note that you must be logged in to EdX to access the course. Registration is free. Links to the course pages are also included.

This site inclues a link to two other course sets: Genomics Data Analysis, and Using Python for Research.
