  • Make sure you source the common profile, or if not, be sure to execute umask 002 to make all files you create group writable.
  • If your primary group is not the NGSC group, do this right after logging so that all files you create will be the NGSC group (G-803889)
    Code Block
    newgrp - G-803889

  • Most common confusion in tutorials:
    • local computer vs TACC vs idev
    • where example commands are being executed (current directory)
  • 1st day overwhelming for non-Unix folks (as usual). Maybe find a way to introduce commands as part of guided lecture?
  • Three kinds of sections from us: 1) lecture 2) guided lecture (they exec some cmds) 3) tutorial
    • Have more 1 & 2 early on, moving to more 2 & 3 as they get more comfortable
    • Definitely go through mapping tutorial one step at a time from the front of the class - this should be REALLY clear
  • Should explore full day for TopHat - maybe yeast in TopHat?  More interactive demos on graphing, etc. Theoretically (in Anna's mind) this is already done!
  • Maintain encouragement to the linux-challenged
  • Maybe an assembly evaluation tool?
  • Maybe switch from a genome assembly to a transcriptome assembly (i.e. the yeast subset from the TopHat)
  • Should move to bowtie2
  • Need to clarify language: reference, reference genome, indexes (references, bam files)
  • Need to clarify "commands" file (for launcher_creator.py) vs a bash script
  • Fix wrap-around with "nowrap" macro instead of "code" macro
  • Maybe some "speciality" or niche application exposure - metagenomics, IMGT, ddRAD analysis, etc.
  • Should we describe library prep more? Or things like enrichment?
  • It was good to have expanded QC discussion.
  • Maybe manipulatives.
