Chapter 2 Getting started

To get started you’ll need to have access to a computer that allows you to open a text terminal and type commands. The relevant information of what is needed can be found in the Introduction, Chapter 1.

Process:

  • First we’ll search for relevant sequences on NCBI and save them in FASTA format. This will be done via a web browser.
  • The rest of the analysis will be done using various methods and software from a command-line perspective (see section1.3.)
