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 / competenc
 ies***\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 **100 C
 HF** for academics and **500 CHF** for for-profit companies.\n\nWhile part
 icipants are registered on a first come\, first serve basis\, exceptions m
 ay be made to ensure diversity and equity.\n\nApplications will close as s
 oon as the places will be filled up.Deadline for registration and free-of-
 charge cancellation is set to **05/01/2024**. Cancellation after this date
  will not be reimbursed. Please note that participation to SIB courses is 
 subject to our [general conditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-a
 nd-conditions).\n\nYou will be informed by email of your registration conf

 rticipants of SIB courses are also required to abide by the same code.\n\n
