Unix 201. Advanced Unix for Bioinformatics
Unix is the platform of choice for large-scale Bioinformatics operations. Among other things, Unix 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.
Unix for Bioinformatics 201 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
