Introduction to Week 1 by Martin and Mark

Hello. And welcome to week one of our course. During this week, we will introduce you to the Linux and explain why it is widely used in bioinformatics. We’re going to demonstrate a Linux command line and explain the directory structure of the file system. We look forward to showing you the essential commands used in Linux and demonstrating how to access, manipulate, and edit text files. We’ll introduce the concept of environment variables and then demonstrate how to instal a piece of widely used bioinformatics software. In addition, we’re going to talk to a biologist who has found the web transformed by using command plan limits. Please let us know how you are doing using the comment section. We hope you enjoy the course.
