Overview
With a constant evolution of technologies, life scientists (such as laboratory biologists) are faced with an increasing need for bioinformatics skills to deal with high-throughput data storage, retrieval and analysis.
Although several resources developed for such tasks have a web interface (most of the time, the first choice of biologists), many operations can be more efficiently handled with command-line programs and utilities.
Audience
This "First Steps with UNIX" course is addressed to beginners wanting to become familiar with the UNIX environment and master the most common commands, which could be useful to run software dedicated to high-throughput data management.
Learning objectives
At the end of the course you should:
- be able to execute most basic UNIX commands
- be able to build complex and combined commands using various parameters
- be sufficiently skilled for further courses requiring basics of UNIX, like HPC or NGS courses
Prerequisites
Knowledge / competencies:
As it is a course for beginners, no background in UNIX or any programming language is required.
Technical:
A laptop with at least 10 Go free on hard disk and 4 Go of RAM. As we plan to do exercises from a virtual machine, we will provide further information.
Application
The registration fees for academics are 50 CHF. This includes course content material and coffee breaks. Participants from non-academic institutions should contact us before application.
