Main features:

1. works with any number of scaffold assemblies in de-novo non-progressive fashion
2. allows to simultaneously work with scaffold assemblies obtained from any in silico and in vitro techniques, supporting multiple existing formats via built-in converters
3. creates an extensive report with several comparative quality metrics (both on assembly level and on the level of individual assembly points)
4. constructs a merged combined scaffold assembly
5. provides an interactive framework for a visual comparative analysis of the given assemblies

  ln -s file link — create symbolic link to file
  touch file — create or update file
  cat file — output the contents of file
  less file — view file with page navigation
  head file — output the first 10 lines of file
  tail file — output the last 10 lines of file
  tail -f file — output the contents of file as it grows, starting with the last 10 lines
  vim file — edit file
  alias name 'command' — create an alias for a command
  
• System
  shutdown — shut down machine
  reboot — restart machine
  date — show the current date and time
  whoami — who you are logged in as
  finger user — display information about user
  man command — show the manual for command
  df — show disk usage
  du — show directory space usage

• Process Management
  ps — display your currently active processes
  top — display all running processes
  kill pid — kill process id pid
  kill -9 pid — force kill process id pid
  
• Permissions
  ls -l — list items in current directory and show permissions
  chmod ugo file — change permissions of file to ugo - u is the user's permissions, g is the group's permissions, and o is everyone else's permissions. The values of u, g, and o can be any number between 0 and 7.
  7 — full permissions
  6 — read and write only
  5 — read and execute only
  4 — read only
  3 — write and execute only
  2 — write only
  1 — execute only
  0 — no permissions
  chmod 600 file — you can read and write - good for files
  chmod 700 file — you can read, write, and execute - good for scripts
  chmod 644 file — you can read and write, and everyone else can only read - good for web pages
  chmod 755 file — you can read, write, and execute, and everyone else can read and execute - good for programs that you want to share
  
• Networking
  wget file — download a file
  curl file — download a file
  scp user@host:file dir — secure copy a file from remote server to the dir directory on your machine
  scp file user@host:dir — secure copy a file from your machine to the dir directory on a remote server
  scp -r user@host:dir dir — secure copy the directory dir from remote server to the directory dir on your machine
  ssh user@host — connect to host as user
  ssh -p port user@host — connect to host on port as user
  ssh-copy-id user@host — add your key to host for user to enable a keyed or passwordless login

  dig -x host — reverse lookup host
  lsof -i tcp:1337 — list all processes running on port 1337
  
• 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

Qualifications
Students currently in their pre-final or final year of BSc/BE/BTech or first year MSc/ME/MTech or equivalent with a good academic record are encouraged to apply through IMSc's formal application process.

To apply through the summer program jointly organized by the Academies of Science, please check the Indian Academy of Sciences for their application process: http://web-japps.ias.ac.in:8080/fellowship2018/index.html.
Stipend
Selected students will be paid 2nd class round trip train fare plus Rs.200 per diem. Accommodation will be provided in the hostel during summer, subject to availability. Since our ability to provide accomodation is often limited, we suggest that students also explore alternative possibilities for stay in Chennai. Accommodation will not be provided for longer visits.

Application Process
