This course offers an introduction to working with Linux for Bioinformatics. 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.
Some prior knowledge of working with the command-line is required. Those based in Sheffield can sign-up for an introductory course from the Research-IT team at this link
In particular the Introduction to Linux course should be attended, and optionally Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial and Introduction to Running Software on HPC would be beneficial
Those outside Sheffield and interested in attending are recommended to follow these lessons from Software Carpentry
Those wanting to use the command-line to perform data analysis; particularly those with next-generation sequencing data such as RNA-Seq
