Intro to Essential Tools for Every Bioinformatician

Bioscience analyses (DNA and RNA-sequence analysis) often rely on Command Line software. This workshop covers essential tools every bioinformatician should know to make their analyses run smoothly, like BLAST, SAMtools, and FastQC/MultiQC, as well as aligners such as STAR, TopHat, Bowtie2, BWA, and HISAT2. You’ll also gain insights into GATK for variant calling and BUSCO for assessing genome completeness.
