Hi all,
What locale(s) are recommended for lab servers? We primarily work in applied genomics (think off-the-shelf programs, scripting, R).
I just ran into the whole locale issue when sorting a pair of FASTQ files by read ID. Apparently my default "en_US.UTF-8" locale ignores colons and other punctuation. So I switch to "C", and if so, will this have any unintended consequences?
Thanks!
