Background:
Most of the tools for bioinformaticians are both developed as well as used on the Linux operating system (and other UNIXes). Linux is like an ocean, containing millions of lines of code developed by lakhs of professionals, scientists, researchers, bioinformaticians, students, faculty, etc. There is no dearth of tools available on this platform! But while Linux is very powerful, stable and secure, it is unfortunately not user-friendly. This modular course makes Linux learning easy, fun and very productive!
