Introduction to the Command Line for Bioinformatics
June 1st, 2nd, and 4th, 2021 2 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Organizer - Bioinformatics Core
Contact - UC Davis Bioinformatics Core, training.bioinformatics@ucdavis.edu
Get off to a good start in bioinformatics with this three-part online workshop in the use of the command line interface. This workshop lays the foundation for successful bioinformatics experiments, including RNA-Seq, single cell RNA-Seq, genome assembly, GWAS, variant analysis, epigenetics and more.
This workshop consists of three half-day sessions, combining lecture and exercises in a survey of the basics of the command line for bioinformatics. Completion of this material will allow participants to get the most out of our other experiment-centric workshops. We recommend this course for all beginners.
Introduction to the Command Line for Bioinformatics is scheduled from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Monday, June 1st, Tuesday, June 2nd, and Friday, June 4th.
Participants must have a Mac, a Linux machine, or Windows 10.
The registration fee is $300 for UC students, postdocs, staff and faculty, $450 for Non-UC academic or non-profit participants and $600 for other participants.

FAQ
Who should attend? … Prior course participants have included faculty, post docs, grad students, staff, and industry researchers.
What are the prerequisites? … There are no prerequisites other than an enthusiasm for learning bioinformatics data analysis.
What do I need? … You will need access to a computer with a recent version of R, Rstudio, and Java installed, and an application that allows them to ssh into a server (e.g. Windows PowerShell, Terminal or iTerm2 on a Mac, or Bash for Linux), as well as a reliable internet connection. If your department does not allow you to install software on your computer, please contact us ahead of time.
Can I bring my own data? … We will provide experimental datasets for use during the workshop, as this helps to keep the workshop moving. There will be time, however, to discuss your own datasets and how you might work with them outside of the workshop.
How do I apply? … All registration is “first-come, first-served”. There is no application process. Sign up as soon as possible to ensure your place in the workshop.
