The lessons will be mostly practical with some theoretical introduction. Several exercises will be proposed to introduce to the students in a gradual way to the field. All software used in the course will be free software freely available in the web.

Despite that a small introduction to unix console usage is included in this course, could be interesting to the students to practice with the basic commands before. There are several interesting courses on line, such as:

Informática para las ciencias de la vida: Unix y Python

Unix Tutorial for Beginners

Although some topics related with the analysis of RNA samples, the quantification of the RNA expression will not be covered in this course.
