Online Course – 1st Edition
Introduction to Bash applied to Bioinformatics
June 1st-4th, 2021
This course will be delivered live online
Online live sessions from Tuesday, June 1st to Friday, June 4th, 2021; 15:00 to 18:00 (GMT+1, Madrid time zone).
Course overview:
Bash is the universal base programming language of bioinformatics. It is the basic structure for any current bioinformatics analysis, from the most basic to the most advanced computational biology pipelines. This course is oriented to researchers who want to start performing their own bioinformatics analyses, from a very basic level.
The course will cover brief introductions to the different functions, their applications, large text file processing tools, and finally some applied problems. Also, hands-on sessions with will be run to put into practice the knowledge acquired after each session. In brief, if you want to overcome the fear of facing a “black terminal screen”, this course is for you!
Course Requirements
All participants must have a personal computer. If your computer is Windows we will send you instructions about how to install a terminal in it. Webcam and headphones are strongly recommended, and a good internet connection.
