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 / competenci
 es**\n\nAs it is a course for beginners\, no background in UNIX or any pro
 gramming language is required.\n\n**Technical**\n\nA laptop with a command
  line **terminal installed**. The alternative for Windows users is to down
 load 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 **100
  CHF** for academics and **500 CHF** for for-profit companies.\n\nDeadline
  for registration and free-of-charge cancellation is set to *04/09/2024*. 
 Cancellation after this date will not be reimbursed. Please note that part
 icipation to SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](https://ww
 w.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\nYou will be informed by ema
 il of your registration confirmation.\n\n # Venue and time\nThe course wil
 l take 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 befor
 e the course.\n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Grégoire Rossie
 r - SIB Training Group\n\nWe will recommend 0.25 ECTS credits for this cou
 rse (given a passed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to 
 register to the SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future cour
 ses and workshops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [her
