Bioinformatics is an increasingly important skill for biological scientists. Many bioinformatic tools can only be run on Unix based operating systems. This course is aimed at beginners and novices to the command line; it will give an overview of fundamental linix commands, directory navigation, and file manipulation. The course will act as a perfect primer for those interested in our other Bioinformatic courses.

Places are restricted to UK-based researchers and only 30places are available so please only register if you intend on attending.

The workshop will be held over one day on Tuesday 7/10, 10am-4pm, with registration opening 9.30am.

The deadline to register is Monday 22/9, 2 weeks before the course. You will hear later that week whether you have been invited and will need to confirm your attendance.
