Bioinformatics: Where code meets biology

I went through the start of the bioinformatics specialisation on Coursera. Bioinformatics is fascinating to me because it involves the crossover of so many different fields. Math, statistics, computer science, biology, business (and more) come together to try and make sense of the most complex language in the unverise, DNA.
I can see a world where bioinfomatics techniques are the normal. Where you go to the doctor and all of your health treatments are informed by data.
This video is a high level overview of why I'm excited to be learning about bioinformatics and what I understand about it so far.
Stay tuned for more content at the crossover of health and technology.
Keep learning.

Special thank you to Coursera for sponsoring this video. I love Coursera and have used it for the past couple of years to learn machine learning, deep learning and how to learn.

    Bioinformatics is one of the most exciting fields where we can apply AI. It's the reason why I think AI is an amazing tool despite its potential dangers. There is so much to discover. So much potential to have good, large scale impact. Best wishes with your course. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos about it. I'll probably sign up for it myself. 😊

    I'm a bioinformatics department student of the faculty of computer science in "AinShams" Egypt , Probably yo recognize me from my two previous comments and I really like the "nutrime" idea of personalized nutrition plans . What I thought about is combining big data analysis , image processing techniques & classification machine learning in an application I would like to call it "RoboDoc" . Basically it's a powerful tool that can be used by radiologists to diagnose tons of cases in much much less time , where the model can identify the issue or the disease leaving radiologists to tackle more advanced problems or details & accelerating their performance .

    Very interesting, good video! What could also be interesting is the fact that genetics give a variance most of the times. For example your genetics might determine if you are between 1,75m and 1,82m tall but how tall you really get depends on multiple other factors. There are studies in modern medicine that show that siblings separated by birth, can have very different heights depending on the social status and wealth they grow up in (which also changes the diet). Also a lot of the times one can see that pro basketball players are crucially taller than there parents and siblings in some cases -> habbit, visualisation, nutrition, activeness,... The body effects it's own DNA, we just don't know how. If we would know how and also could use that fact with bioinformatics from an engineering stand point, this would be HUGE!

My oldest brother was the most stressed out and ate the least. My younger brother is optimistic and energetic all the time and eats more than the both of us.
