Document Summary

Log in to talc remotely using a secure shell (ssh). With this assignment, we are going to set up an analysis of something using one of the biobuilds software packages (in this case, raxml). Name (last, first: i have sent you an alignment, and you are going to perform a phylogenetic analysis. There will be two runs, first with a single processor and then with multiple processors. Sketch out where everything is and explain why you are organizing it that way. (3 points: to submit a job using the slurm system, you will need a job script. If not, why do you think that is? (3 points: now go to the ncbi gene database. Pick a gene (any gene you like!) and download a set of ~20 orthologous (evolutionarily-related) sequences (in fasta format). You can find a dataset like this by searching for a gene name first and the selecting the orthologs button on the result page.
