About this Event
Lead trainer: Gayle Philips
(Melbourne Bioinformatics, The University of Melbourne)
Workshop Description:
Knowledge of the Unix operating system is fundamental to the use of many popular bioinformatics command-line tools. Whether you choose to run your analyses locally or on an HPC system, knowing your way around a command-line interface is highly valuable. This workshop will introduce you to Unix concepts by way of a series of hands-on exercises. The training material is freely available here.
Completion of this workshop will provide the background knowledge required for other Melbourne Bioinformatics workshops that require command-line skills.
