COURSE DESCRIPTION:

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.
