Description:

Computational genomics workflows are most useful when they handle many samples. This workshop will introduce bash variables and job arrays to help you scale up as efficiently as possible with the SLURM scheduling software on Quest. We will interactively work through converting scripts that analyze one sample to analyze any number of samples, so you can launch one script that will handle all your sequencing files.

Prerequisites: This workshop requires a laptop with a terminal application installed and basic knowledge of working from the command line, or attendance at the ‘Command Line Introduction’ workshop. A basic knowledge of running jobs on GCC is recommended but not required.
