Complete bioinformatics newbie here...hello

[LampreyGuy]

So, as the title implies, I am a complete greenhorn when it comes to bioinformatics and have much to learn. I am also just learning how to use the terminal on a MAC. I am a brand new graduate student here at the University of Kentucky and am working on Sea Lamprey genomics and development.

I will probably be posting a lot of softball questions in these forums out of desperation so please keep that in mind when I make posts that seem "too easy". Other than that I am determined to master everything I need to know to do bioinformatics and to learn all that I can. Hello!

Spend a few hours here to get the basics of unix/file systems under your belt. Would be useful for the rest of your working life :-)
