I am a postgraduate student and have completed MSc in Medical genetics. I intend to apply for PhD in future and my current interest lies in analysing missense mutations for their pathogenecity. I have some knowledge of bioinformatics which is limited to using online tools and software .I was adviced by someone that I should know handling large data files in Linux and writing scripts in Linux, R, Perl/Python etc if I intend to go for this area.
Can any one guide me how I can learn this.
I've been working in that field for years and can do none of those things. It all depends on your approach. But there are great courses to follow, at EMBL for example.
Thank you Mark and Saul I will have a look at EMBL and NIH website.
I think if you know BASH and some scripting languages like perl or python its enough.
Also statistics plays a very major role in these type of PhDs.
