Advanced Computer Skills

July 13-16, 2026

José Manuel NUNES

Dr José de Abreu Nunes, UNIGE
Dr Nicolas Hulo, UNIGE

A hands on practical course (two times two full days) that is a continuation of 'Computer Skills for Biological Research', looking more deeply into regular expressions (sed and grep), the use (and misuse) of pipes, input and output redirections and the design of bash scripts for use with computer clusters (slurm based). It includes a introduction to the AWK scripting language and, hopefully, another on how to make simple parallelisation within R scripts.

Basic knowledge of scripting required, such as provided by the CUSO course 'Computers Skills for Biological Research'.

Full board provided.
