SPRING 2017 course info coming soon!
Training in computational and bioinformatics approaches to biological problems is an important part of the CCBB mission. Each semester, we offer a variety of short courses each semester in diverse topics for learning computational approaches to solving biological problems. Each course costs $25, and meets for one day, lasting between two to three hours per course.
● Introduction to Unix for Bioinformatics
Please read this disclaimer if you are using the UT ProCard for payment!
Students in this course will learn the basics of using UNIX from the command line. We will cover introductory topics including the file system, the shell, permissions, and text files. Students will manipulate text files and directories, use pipes and filters, write for loops, create shell scripts, and learn commands for finding things. The learning objectives of the course are to develop some basic comfort at the command line, get a sense of what's possible, and learn how to find help.
