We will meet in Room 4.136 of Mezes Hall (MEZ). The lab has Mac computers. We encourage you to use the computers provided in the classroom for these tutorials, but you may also bring your personal laptops. Please make sure you have an ssh client installed on your personal laptop. All macs come with terminal, so no installation is required.

MANY THANKS
Many thanks to Dr. Scott Hunicke-Smith and Dr. Jeff Barrick who taught the first Introduction to NGS course at UT. Many slides and wiki pages have been borrowed and adapted from their initial course.
Also, thanks to Anna Battenhouse and Benni Goetz who have also provided some material for this course.
