On Monday, August 5th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by
Boaz Goldstein:
All I really need to know about bioinformatics, I learnt in Haifux
Abstract
Our new ability to create large amounts of biological data has created
an abundance of tools to deal with the manipulations and data-mining
required. however, like every new tool, they have limitations,
edge-cases, and quirks. I've discovered that sometimes the old ways are
the best ways. grep, sort, awk, and sed deal very will with large
data-sets and parallel processing, and I've found that i use them for
90% of bioinformatic tasks, and quite successfully. I will describe the
type of problems i am dealing with, and show why shell is the optimal
solution. a quick genetics intro, in computer terms, will be given, so
no biological knowledge is needed.
