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.

Forging a New Frontier in Cannabis

Forging a New Frontier in Cannabis Written By: Christopher Pauli Our lives depend on plants, for food, clothes and beauty. And there are so many mysteries to explore. For instance: Why can a plant produce both male and female flowers when it appears genetically to be female? Can we determine the tissue-specific gene expression profiles of any organism? The Agricultural Genomics Foundation sponsors a research project at the University of Colorado Boulder that focuses on transcriptomics, or the study of RNA, the next genetic frontier for the Cannabis plant. With numerous transcriptomes sequenced, AGF is aiming to expand upon its previous work in the genome to include RNA data that will help us better understand how gene expression controls the plant. The genes expressed are called RNA, or ribonucleic acid, which collectively referred to as the transcriptome. By comparing the differences between these transcriptomes in different areas on the plant, we can unders...

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.
