Dear all, Happy New Year! There are still a few seats for our upcoming online course "Unix and Shell Scripting for Bioinformatics", taking place on 12-16 January 2026. Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/unix/ ) This hands-on course is designed for biologists with no prior Unix experience who want to gain practical command-line skills for bioinformatics. Participants will learn how to work efficiently in Unix/Linux environments, process large biological datasets (including NGS data), and automate analyses using shell scripting. Through guided exercises and real-world examples, the course will cover essential Unix commands, file and system management, software installation, text processing, and the construction of reproducible bioinformatics pipelines. For the full list of our courses and workshops, please have a look at: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/unix/ ) We look forward to welcoming you to this practical introduction to Unix for bioinformatics.
