Harvard Chan Bioinformatics Core: Needle in a Haystack - Finding and summarizing data from colossal files
This workshop is part of our Current Topics in Bioinformatics series and is a free, hands-on workshop available to all Harvard affiliates.
Foundation - Basic shell, or a working knowledge of Shell, is a pre-requisite for this workshop.
WHO? Free to all Harvard affiliates
WHAT? Needle in a Haystack - Finding and summarizing data from colossal files
WHERE? Sign up for your zoom link. If you forget if you already signed up, feel free to register again.
WHEN? Wednesday April 17th from 1-4pm.
Pre-requisite: Big data? Big computer! Foundation - Basic shell workshop, or a working knowledge of Shell
Needle in a Haystack - Finding and summarizing data from colossal files: Manipulating large files in a compute cluster environment (such as HMSRC's O2 cluster) is a key bioinformatics skill. In this workshop we introduce participants to a handful of command-line utilities for data wrangling in shell. Participants will learn to grab information with ‘grep’ and use regular expressions to widen their searches. Then we will get into more complex file manipulations and data summarizing with sed and awk. This intermediate shell workshop builds upon the basic shell skills learned in The Foundation - Basic Shell. This workshop will not be taught on the O2 cluster, rather commands will be demonstrated in a local laptop setting.
Setup instructions will be provided to those who register.
