Analytics 2: Introduction to the command-line for Bioinformatics |
Module Coordinator Mark Dunning |
|
|
This course offers an introduction to working with Linux. We will describe the Linux environment so that participants can start to utilize command-line tools and feel comfortable using a text-based way of interacting with a computer. We give example of processing data arising from Next-Generation Sequencing experiments, in particular an RNA-seq experiment.
No prior programming experience is required. Computers will be provided. You can bring your own laptop to the workshop if you wish but it will need a working wi-fi connection and you will have to let the tutor know in advance so a temporary York password can be created for you.
After this course you should be able to:
- Connect to a Unix / Linux system
- Navigate around a file system by issuing commands; rather than using a Desktop environment
- Move and copy files and directories within the Linux system
- Work with text files
- Run programs from the command-line
- Run quality assessment tools on data derived from High-throughput sequencing experiments
- Write short scripts to document an analysis
- 10:00 - 10:30 Course Setup

Please use this short form to give us feedback on the workshop. This will be used to inform the planning of future White Rose DTP training
