• osvaldogc/ufv:2.0: Docker image with Hands On packages already installed. Images can be pulled via docker pull osvaldogc/ufv:2.0. Detailed instructions here.

Remember that all the packages required to run the analysis are already installed in our Docker image.

Follow this guide if you want to run your analysis locally.

If you want to complement, add or step up your knowledge in bioinformatics...

• My June 27, 2022 post in FEBS Network: Why and how should you start learning bioinformatics?

Some deeper and longer... but highly recommended bioinformatics courses (still available online):

• Foundations of Computational and Systems Biology. MIT Opencourseware. Spring 2014.
• MIT CompBio. MIT. 2018.

Recommended books:

• Bioinformatics algorithms by Pavel A. Pevzner.
• Modern Statistics for Modern Biology by Susan Holmes and Wolfgang Huber.
