Top ten reasons to learn to use the command line: Expanding your reproducibility tools (CC026)

 

In this screencast tutorial, Pat Schloss walks through his 10 top reasons for why you should learn to use the command line interface as a complement to learning a language like R or Python. As we've already seen in this series, using the command line has been important to insure the reproducibility of our project as we determine the degree to which inter- and intra-genomic variation limit the interpretation of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs; aka exact sequence variants or ESVs) for different regions within the 16S rRNA gene. This is an important question for microbiome researchers. The accompanying blog post contains the exercises and solutions can be found at http://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/2020-08-17-command-line-life.
