    Searching

    grep pattern files — search for pattern in files

    grep -r pattern dir — search recursively for pattern in dir

    grep -rn pattern dir — search recursively for pattern in dir and show the line number found

    grep -r pattern dir --include='*.ext — search recursively for pattern in dir and only search in files with .ext extension

    command | grep pattern — search for pattern in the output of command

    find file — find all instances of file in real system

    locate file — find all instances of file using indexed database built from the updatedb command. Much faster than find

    sed -i 's/day/night/g' file — find all occurrences of day in a file and replace them with night - s means substitude and g means global - sed also supports regular expressions
    Compression

    tar cf file.tar files — create a tar named file.tar containing files

    tar xf file.tar — extract the files from file.tar

    tar czf file.tar.gz files — create a tar with Gzip compression

    tar xzf file.tar.gz — extract a tar using Gzip

    gzip file — compresses file and renames it to file.gz

    gzip -d file.gz — decompresses file.gz back to file
    Shortcuts

    ctrl+a — move cursor to beginning of line

    ctrl+f — move cursor to end of line

    alt+f — move cursor forward 1 word

    alt+b — move cursor backward 1 word

Machine Learning !!!

Gudiya Pal — Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:57:12 -0500

In machine learning, computers apply statistical learning techniques to automatically identify patterns in data. These techniques can be used to make highly accurate predictions.

Keep scrolling. Using a data set about homes, we will create a machine learning model to distinguish homes in New York from homes in San Francisco.

3d-dna: 3D de novo assembly (3D DNA) pipeline

Jit — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 10:09:37 -0600

This code is designed to enable anyone to reproduce the Hs2-HiC and the AaegL4 genomes reported in: Dudchenko et al., De novo assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome using Hi-C yields chromosome-length scaffolds. Science, 2017.

Unless otherwise noted, all terminology below is consistent with this paper, and all references to figures and tables in this readme refer to this paper. Specifically, some of the terminology used below is outlined in Figure S2. The assembly procedure is described in detail in the Supporting Online Materials, specifically in the section labelled “Pipeline description”.

In addition, the pipeline uses tools and methods from Juicer (Durand & Shamim et al., Cell Systems, 2016) and Juicebox (Durand & Robinson et al., Cell Systems, 2016), as well as additional dependencies noted below.
