The <span>Linux</span> command line enables one to view, filter and manipulate large text files that are difficult or impossible to handle with applications like Word or Excel, write pipelines to perform certain tasks and run bioinformatics software for which no web interface is available. In this workshop we will provide a basic introduction to <span>Linux</span>, covering the most used commands, followed by a brief introduction to several popular command-line tools that were especially developed for <span>genomics</span>(e.g. samtools and bedtools). The workshop will be mostly hands-on. In the tutorials <span>genomic</span> data and file formats commonly used in <span>genomics</span> (e.g. BED, FASTA, FASTQ, GFF/GTF, SAM/BAM, VCF) will be used (and explained).</font></span><br></div><div style="font-size:13px"><u><br></u></div><div style="font-size:13px"><u>1-day <span>Linux</span> for <span>Genomics</span></u></div><div style="font-size:13px"><u><span><br></span></u></div><div><div style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:museo_sans_500,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Date: Thursday 29 September 2016</font></span></div><div><font color="#000000"><font face="museo_sans_500, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Price: £155 (includes coffee/tea and lunch)</font></font></div><div style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:museo_sans_500,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Registration: first come first serve</font></span></div><div style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:museo_sans_500,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Deadline: Thursday 15 September 2016 noon</font></span></div><div style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:museo_sans_500,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Details: </font></span><span style="font-size:small"><a href="https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/linux-genomics" target="_blank">http://genomics.ed.a<wbr>c.uk/services/linux-genomics</a></span></div><div style="font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px">Cheers,</div><div style="font-size:13px">Bert</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Bert Overduin, PhD</div><div>TRAINING AND OUTREACH BIOINFORMATICIAN</div><div><a href="mailto:Bert.Overduin@ed.ac.uk" target="_blank">Bert.Overduin@ed.ac.uk</a></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><a href="http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5281-8838" target="_blank">orcid.org/0000-0002-5281-8838</a></span><br></div><div><br></div><div>EDINBURGH GENOMICS</div><div>The University of Edinburgh</div><div>Ashworth Laboratories<br></div><div>The King's Buildings</div><div>Charlotte Auerbach Road</div><div>Edinburgh EH9 3FL</div><div>Scotland, United Kingdom</div><div><br></div><div>tel. <a href="tel:%2B44%280%291316507403" value="+441316507403" target="_blank">+44(0)1316507403</a></div><div><a href="http://genomics.ed.ac.uk" target="_blank">http://genomics.ed.ac.uk</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
