NBAF staff are teaching a series of courses, with a one day Bio-Linux course to be held at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in 2012. This introductory Bio-Linux course will be delivered by Tim Booth and Mesude Bicakfrom NBAF-W and will most benefit anyone looking to do bioinformatics work in a Linux environment, in particular with high throughput sequencing data.No prior knowledge of Linux is required. What is Bio-Linux? Bio-Linux 6.0 is a fully featured, powerful, configurable and easy to maintain bioinformatics workstation. Bio-Linux provides more than 500 bioinformatics programs on an Ubuntu Linux 10.04 base. There is a graphical menu for bioinformatics programs, as well as easy access to the Bio-Linux bioinformatics documentation system and sample data useful for testing programs. Bio-Linux is free to download from the NEBC site and runs on most PCs. Introductory Bio-Linux Course - Getting to Grips with Linux This course introduces the new user to the Bio-Linux 6.0 system. It includes a tour of the desktop, information on finding programs and documentation, and provides experience running graphical and command line tools. The full day course is made up of two parts: Part 1 is an introduction to the Linux desktop environment and command shell Part 2 focuses on running bioinformatics programs on Bio-Linux and providing the information you need to make intelligent choices about the programs and interfaces you use to run your bioinformatics analyses. Cost: To be confirmed – there may be a small charge, ie. up to £25, to cover administration costs. Course materials: Printed course materials will be provided along with a Bio-Linux USB memory stick.
