Learning to Use a Command Line Text Editor

There are a few text editors within the command line; however, one of those text editors provides a tutorial that is extremely useful when learning to write scripts. The Vim Tutorial can be accessed by simply entering the following command:
Username@ubuntu:~$ Vimtutor

This command will open a welcome page shown below. This tutorial covers the numerous topics including but not limited to navigating the text editor and shortcuts to editing text.

Learning to navigate a text editor may seem basic and not essential at first; however, a solid background of navigating a text editor on the command line will allow a user to create programs efficiently and easily. Additionally, using a text editor is essential for Bash Scripting, which can be read about following the link provided.

Why Use Bioinformatics on Cannabis?

As with the importance of understanding other organisms genomes , Cannabis is subject to genetic mutations that can be beneficial, neutral, or harmful. These mutations can then be identified in seedlings through molecular biology techniques. This is the beginning on Marker-Assisted Breeding, which allows for efficient breeding since selection for traits can be done within days of sprouting the seed. Bioinformatics is essential to the future development of this technology since the genome must be established for effective Marker-Assisted Breeding systems.

What's Bioinformatics?

       Every living organism contains a genetic code called  DNA , which is a sequence of A's, T's, C's, and G's in a specific sequence to encode for proteins through biological processes. Mutations in these protein coding regions of DNA cause medical conditions and abnormal appearances of various organisms. Knowing the sequence of this code will allow scientist to create treatments for conditions and be able to select for traits in breeding projects by amplifying genes with PCR. With the current technology used to determine the sequence, only small fragments can be determined and need to assembled using bioinformatics tools .
