<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">Biological big data increasingly require supercomputers for their processing and analysis. Running high-throughput (HTP) bioinformatics data pipelines on supercomputing machines
requires advanced Linux shell command line and scripting skills. In this two-day course, we will introduce the Linux shell and, on day one, we will show how to navigate and work with files and directories, how to combine commands to do new things, how to perform
the same actions on many different files, how to filter and selectively extract data from tables, and how to find objects in files. Moreover, we will show how to connect to a remote supercomputer and how to utilise a supercomputing environment to analyse big
amount of biological data, run simple shell scripts and bioinformatics pipelines. Day 2 will be wholly practical.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
