	<title><![CDATA[Keep Your Important SSH Session Running when You Disconnect from Server !!!]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>As a Bioinformatician/ Computational biologist we swim in the ocean of genomic/proteomics data, and play with them with an ease. In our day to day simulation, analysis, comparative study we do need to run exhaustive programs, which might take more than a week. In such cases we do need to disconnect from sever in a way that our program/session should not get terminated. To do so there are lots of software, tools such as tmux ( <a href="http://tmux.sourceforge.net/">http://tmux.sourceforge.net/</a>, nohup (<a href="http://ss64.com/bash/nohup.html">http://ss64.com/bash/nohup.html</a>) , byobu (<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/byobu.html">https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/byobu.html</a>) and other commands (disown -a &amp;&amp; exit), but following are the ones I use the most.</p><p>Screen is like a window manager for your console. It will allow you to keep multiple terminal sessions running and easily switch between them. It also protects you from disconnection, because the screen session doesn&rsquo;t end when you get disconnected.<br /><br />You&rsquo;ll need to make sure that screen is installed on the server you are connecting to. If that server is Ubuntu or Debian, just use this command:<br /><br />sudo apt-get install screen<br /><br />Now you can start a new screen session by just typing screen at the command line. You&rsquo;ll be shown some information about screen. Hit enter, and you&rsquo;ll be at a normal prompt.<br /><br /><strong>To disconnect (but leave the session running)</strong><br /><br />Hit Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + D in immediate succession. You will see the message [detached]<br /><br /><strong>To reconnect to an already running session</strong><br /><br />screen -r<br /><br /><strong>To reconnect to an existing session, or create a new one if none exists</strong><br /><br />screen -D -r<br /><br /><strong>To create a new window inside of a running screen session</strong><br /><br />Hit Ctrl + A and then C in immediate succession. You will see a new prompt.<br /><br /><strong>To switch from one screen window to another</strong><br /><br />Hit Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + A in immediate succession.<br /><br /><strong>To list open screen windows</strong><br /><br />Hit Ctrl + A and then W in immediate succession</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Check the Size of a directory &amp; Free disk space.]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The amount of databases we bioinformatician deal are just HUGE &hellip; In such cases, we always need to check our server for free spaces etc. I planned this article to explains 2 simple commands that most bioinformatician want to know when they start using Linux / BioLinux. First: Size of a directory (du) and and second: free disk space that exists on your machine (df).</p><p><br /><strong>'du' &ndash; Check the size of a directory</strong></p><p><br />$ du<br />This command ( du) gives you a list of directories that exist in the current working directory along with their sizes in kilobytes (default). The last line of the output gives you the total size of the current directory including its subdirectories. <br /><br />$ du /home/jin1<br />The above command would give you the directory size of the directory /home/david<br /><br />$ du -h<br />The same &ldquo;du&rdquo;command with some flag gives you a better output than the default one. The option '-h' stands for human readable format. Therefore, in order to print the sizes of the files / directories in your desire notation use this time suffixed with a 'k' if its kilobytes and 'M' if its Megabytes and 'G' if its Gigabytes.<br /><br />$ du -ah<br />If you are interested in checking everything present in a folder use above mentioned command. It gives us not only the directories but also all the files that are present in the current directory. The &ldquo;-a&rdquo; flag displays the filenames along with the directory names in the output. <br /><br />$ du -c<br />This gives you a grand total as the last line of the output. So if your directory occupies 30MB the last 2 lines of the output would be 30M.<br /><br />$ du -s<br />Use this command to displays a summary of the directory size. It is the simplest way to know the total size of the current directory.<br /><br />$ du -S<br />This would display the size of the current directory excluding the size of the subdirectories that exist within that directory. So it basically shows you the total size of all the files that exist in the current directory.<br /><br />$ du --exculde=mp3<br />Several times it required to exclude some directory in our size calculation. In such cases the above command would display the size of the current directory along with all its subdirectories, but it would exclude all the files having the given pattern present in their filenames.</p><p><br /><strong>'df' - finding the disk free space / disk usage</strong><br /><br />$ df<br />Hmmm &hellip; now &ldquo;df&rdquo; command is really useful, and I guess you are going to use it over time. Typing the above command, outputs a table consisting of 6 columns. All the columns are very easy to understand. Remember that the 'Size', 'Used' and 'Avail' columns use kilobytes as the unit. The 'Use%' column shows the usage as a percentage which is also very useful.<br /><br />$ df -h<br />Displays the same output as the previous command but the '-h' indicates human readable format. Hence instead of kilobytes as the unit the output would have 'M' for Megabytes and 'G' for Gigabytes.<br /><br />Example: Linux installed on /dev/hda1<br />$ df -h | grep /dev/hda1</p><p><br />All right, this is not the only option to check the sizes and free spaces but there are a few more options that can be used with 'du' and 'df' . I will discuss it later.<br /><br /></p>]]></description>

<p>For enquiries regarding the position, teaching obligations and research<br />topic please contact Prof. Tal Dagan: tdagan@ifam.uni-kiel.de.</p>

<p>Applications should be submitted by email to Mrs. Haacks<br />(dhaacks@ifam.uni-kiel.de) as a single PDF and include: (1) a letter of<br />motivation (max 1 page, Arial 11, line spacing 1.15), (2) CV, (3) PhD<br />certificate. Please use 'GMG postdoc application - [your name]'<br />as a subject.</p>

<p>Please, refrain from sending us application photos.</p>

<p>Application deadline:  August 31 2021 or until the position is<br />filled. Interviews will take place during September/October 2021. The<br />planned starting date for the position is flexible (but in 2021).</p>

  <title><![CDATA[Research fellow (PhD candidate) in computational biology – 2 positions]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>At the Department of Informatics two 4-year positions as research fellow are available in the field of computational biology connected to the Computational Biology Unit. The positions are linked to the project “Integrated genomics - linking transcriptional and translational regulation over developmental time” supported by the Bergen Research Foundation</p>

<p>The fate of a cell is ultimately the product of the regulation of its genes. Gene regulation is a coordinated process acting at multiple levels of which transcription and translation are the most prominent. The Valen group is dedicated to the fundamental question of how transcription and translation is integrated to obtain the desired protein abundance. The recent development of high-throughput next generation sequencing techniques to monitor both active translation and transcription has made it possible to study this connection at the genome scale.</p>

<p>This project aims to elucidate the links between regulation of translation and transcription. The applicant will analyze next generation sequencing data and model gene regulation on a genome-wide level to identify the features that affect the translational output of transcripts. The work will be done in close collaboration with experimental scientists who will test the predictions of the computational models.</p>

<p>Additional information on the position can be obtained by contacting Eivind Valen (eivind.valen@ii.uib.no).</p>

<p>The research fellow must take part in the University’s approved PhD program leading to the degree within a time limit of 3 years. Application for admission to the PhD program, including a project plan outline for the training module, will be worked out in collaboration with the research group in question.</p>

<p>In total, the fellowship period is 4 years, 25 % of this will be allocated to teaching and/or administrative duties. The fellowship period may be reduced if the successful applicant has held previous employment as a research fellow or similar.</p>
