DESCRIPTION:# Overview\nWith a constant evolution of technologies\, life sc
 ientists (such as laboratory **biologists**) are faced with an increasing 
 need for **bioinformatics skills** to deal with high-throughput data stora
 ge\, retrieval and analysis.\n\nAlthough several resources developed for s
 uch tasks have a web interface (most of the time\, the first choice of bio
 logists)\, many operations can be more efficiently handled with command-li
 ne programs and utilities.\n\n# Audience\nThis course is addressed to **be
 ginners** wanting to become familiar with the UNIX environment and master 
 the most common commands\, which could be useful to run software dedicated
  to **high-throughput data management**.\n\n# Learning objectives\nAt the 
 end of the course you should:\n* be able to execute most basic UNIX comman
 ds\n* be able to build complex and combined commands using various paramet
 ers\n* be sufficiently skilled for further courses requiring basics of UNI
 X\, like HPC or NGS courses\n\n\n# Prerequisites\n##### Knowledge / compet
 encies\nAs it is a course for beginners\, no background in UNIX or any pro
 gramming language is required.\n##### Technical\nA laptop with a command l
 ine **terminal installed**. The alternative for Windows users is to downlo
 ad a virtual machine image and thus at least 10 Go free on hard disk and 4
  Go of RAM are required.\n\n# Application\n\nRegistration fees are **60 CH
 F** for academics and **300 CHF** for for-profit companies.\n\nDeadline fo
 r registration and free-of-charge cancellation is set to *20/12/2022*. Can
 cellation after this date will not be reimbursed. Please note that partici
 pation to SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](https://www.s
 ib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\nYou will be informed by email 
 of your registration confirmation.\n\n # Venue and time\nThe course will t
 ake place at the University of Lausanne. It will start at 9:00 CET and end
  around 17:00 CET. The participants will get detailed information before t
 he course.\n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Grégoire Rossier -
  Training Group\n\nWe will recommend 0.25 ECTS credits for this course (gi
 ven a passed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to registe
 r to the SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future courses and
  workshops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [here](http
 s://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/courses).\n\nSIB abides by the [ELIXI
 R Code of Conduct](https://elixir-europe.org/events/code-of-conduct). Part
 icipants of SIB courses are also required to abide by the same code.\n\nFo
