This workshop will include three sections, each addressing different levels of UNIX computing. The first section will introduce users to basic UNIX environment skills; the second section teaches necessary skills to perform routine file manipulations and the third section will serve as an introduction to servers and computational resources available at RCAC/ITAP at Purdue as well as utilizing them to run simple next generation seuquence analysis programs.

Prerequisites for this workshop include: RCAC account (you will be given an account when you register for the workshop if do not already have one).

The intended audience for this presentation is scientists and students who want to start using bioinformatics tools at Purdue but who have little or no experience working with Unix servers at the command line.
