3r3-31. If you ever wanted to understand the fundamentals of modern biotechnology, genetic engineering, bioinformatics and molecular biology, to understand in detail what is happening on the front lines of this amazing and revolutionary science at the moment, be a conscious witness to those amazing scientific discoveries, contemporaries of which we are , but did not know where to start - this post should be interesting to you. 3r3113.  
First of all, I consider it my duty to share its find 3r33110. - without a doubt the best course of lectures in the field of natural sciences that I have ever heard, but I studied no less. This course is simply impossible to listen to in any other way than opening one's mouth from continuous surprise and admiration both with its concentrated content, full of fascinating facts, and the clarity and expressiveness with which the lecturer manages very simple, fascinating and at the same time deeply explain very complex things. 3r3113.  
I will also briefly mention information about other courses on this topic that I managed to find. I hope in the comments to see the recommendations of other members of our community about what they think is better to start and than continue their education in this area. 3r3113.

3r31-10. 3r3113.  
My ignorance in this area has long given me no peace. I, in principle, feel very uncomfortable when I do not understand something. But here, right now in the online mode, there is a scientific revolution, the media daily is full of headlines about the stunning achievements of scientists, which yesterday it was impossible to conceive, and I, in understanding biology, do not go beyond the framework of the Soviet school program, which for the most part missed ears and managed to forget for many years. 3r3113.

And recently, I began searching for educational materials on this topic. I did not have to search for a long time, I opened Youtube and very quickly came across
course of genetics from MIT 3r3-3110. who read a wonderful professor
Eric Lander . From the very first lectures I fell in love both with this charismatic person and with the subject he teaches. Later, I learned that few of his students could resist his charms, the MIT leadership particularly noted his merits in creating outstanding courses and in his unique ability to infect students with his obvious love of biology and genetics. 3r3113.  
Eric Lander is a very honored person. Mathematician by his basic education, who later turned into a genetics. Member of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA since 1997. Winner of many prestigious awards. The works are mainly devoted to bioinformatics, genomics and genetics. Since the second half of the 1980s, he has been engaged in deciphering the human genome and applying its results in medicine. One of the leaders of the project "Human Genome". His group sequenced a third of the human genome. 3r3113.  
3r3113.  
However, my joy was short-lived, very quickly I realized that this was not a course, but some bits and pieces. Then it all happened a few more times, 3r3333. official rate of 3r31-10. on 3r3335. https://ocw.mit.edu/ which that genetics course turned out to be a part of, also turned out to be r3r337. cut into pieces of lectures 3r3-3110. loaded randomly. 3r3113.  
There was no limit to my disappointment, I was like in front of a broken mirror that represents the greatest jewel when you can see a whole picture in it, but there were only fragments in my hands that didn’t want to fit together - many of them were just lost. 3r3113.  
Then, by some miracle, I managed to find 3r34343. This course is entirely 3-333110. , with the correct numbering of lectures, but the picture was of terrible quality. But down there, among the last lectures, there were lectures of some other, obviously, of a newer course. And also random pieces with no beginning and no end
 
However, all you had to do was to start typing the name of this wonderful person in the Google search box. In response, a hint came up: eric lander edx . And on the second line of the search results is the very “pearl” that I dream to share with you: 3r350. Introduction to Biology - The Secret of Life
3r373. 3r3113.  
3r3113.  
This is a complete free course with all the necessary accompanying materials, tests and the ability to receive a certificate of its passage from MIT. Not just information, but real knowledge laid out in open access. 3r3113.  
Now, having finally found this course, I am infinitely happy, and I can enjoy the highest-quality intellectual high. Professor Lander tells one of the most interesting stories in the world, which is more intense than modern series like 3r-359. WW 3r33110. Each new lecture literally blows up your head. 3r3113.  
Eric Lander not only acquaints his students with scientific factology, he in paints and faces tells fascinating plots from the history of science, which led to great discoveries in biology. Teaches them the philosophy and methodology of science, intriguing, asking questions that confronted scientists, forcing students to think like those scientists, instills in them the scientific method of thinking. 3r3113.  
No prior knowledge is required to understand the course, although they are desirable in the field of biology and chemistry. 3r3113.  
3r3113.  
It should, of course, say that the course is in English. I sincerely sympathize with people who do not know English. This language would be worth learning at least in order to get acquainted with this course. Although the course itself can be used as a wonderful way to learn English - Eric Lander has excellent articulation and very clear pronunciation. A lot of things are clear from the context. On the edX site itself, there are only English and Chinese subtitles, but there is a way to get to Russian subtitles. 3r3113.  
Instructions on how to get to Russian subtitles
Maybe I'm stupid, but I just could not find a playlist for this course on Youtube. If anyone finds, please drop the link. However, there is a way to open any video course there “by reference”. In the upper right corner of the video on the edX website there is an “share” arrow. Click on it, see the ellipsis, click and get on Youtube. Next, click on the gear icon, select the subtitles, then press the “translate” button, but at least in my case, this button becomes active only after we have selected English. 3r3113.  
Further enjoy machine translation, the quality of which I personally was pleasantly surprised. 3r3113.  
3r3113.  
Of course, there are courses in biotechnology and in Russian:
 
MIPT “Introduction to Molecular Biology and Biomedicine” 3r3-310. 3r3113.  
Bioinformatics Institute
“Biotechnology: Genetic Engineering” 3-333110. 3r3113.  
Bioinformatics Institute
“Molecular Biology and Genetics” 3-333110. 3r3113.  
Reviews on the
platform. stepik.org They are good, but I personally do not know the quality of these materials. 3r3113.  
3r3113.  
Many courses on this subject, mainly in English, are on the most popular educational site 3r3103. Coursera 3r-33110. I do not know anything about their content. 3r3113.  
3r3113.  
And about such a wonderful platform as
www.edx.org 3r3–3110. , to my shame and happiness, I learned solely thanks to the story that I just told you. 3r3113.  
3r3113.  
Thank you for your attention and wish you a wonderful trip to the world of molecular biology!
