PLNT3140 INTRODUCTORY CYTOGENETICS

BIOINFORMATICS LAB 2024


Week of Sept. 9


1. Cloud-based Computing in Linux



Recommended completion: Week of Nov. 18

2. Basic DNA sequence analysis

BEFORE this lab, login to Linux through Thinlinc, and do the following tutorials:

Note:  Be sure to pay attention to the first section on "Typographical Conventions", regarding the command prompt. The prompt is what the shell prints each time to tell you that the last command has completed, and that it is waiting for you to type another command. The Duke tutorial uses the % character as the command prompt. When we ran the newuser script in the previous session, the command prompt was changed to include the name of the login host and the path to the current working directory. Therefore, your prompt will look something like

{mars:/home/plants/frist}

In the Duke tutorial, the command that you type is shown to the right of the prompt. You don't type the prompt itself.
