Bioinformatics Pro-Tip #2: Essential Bash/Linux Commands (Surviving the Terminal)

Python is amazing, but to be a true bioinformatician, you have to survive the terminal! In this video, we step outside of our Python notebooks and into the Bash command line. We'll learn why industry-standard tools run in Linux, and we'll cover the essential commands you need to navigate your computer, safely inspect massive genomic files without crashing your RAM, and search for DNA patterns at lightning speed using grep and piping.

NOTE:
In the video the reason "wc -l" returns 8 instead of 9 is because of how the "wc -l" command calculates lines under the hood: it doesn't actually count lines of text; it counts the number of newline characters (\n) in the file. In our file, the final line does not have a newline character at the very end of it.
