Unix for Bioinformatics 201

Unix is the platform of choice for large-scale Bioinformatics operations. Among other things, 201 describes work-flow operations in a typical high-throughput sequencing center - a fundamental aspect of large-scale sequencing that controls how sequence data is stored, distributed and processed in these centers - and, the biology of the sequencing process itself. Unix 201 can be taken in combination with Perl 201.

201. Advanced Unix for Bioinformatics covers the following topics:

   · Editing and manipulating sequence files with the vi editor

   · FTP and downloading databases from NCBI

   · Unix commands and utilities for sequence analysis

   · Using wild cards with commands

   · File compression and uncompression

   · Process control
