From Novice to Expert: My Journey in Computational Biology through the Command Line

Ming Tommy Tang, a computational biologist, shares his unexpected career journey from a wet-lab biologist to a computational biologist. Tang emphasizes the importance of learning the command line, as it is essential for conducting bioinformatics analyses and working with high-performance computing clusters. He recommends resources such as online courses and books to learn the basics of the command line. Tang's dedication to helping other wet-lab biologists make the transition is evident through his blog and willingness to share his knowledge and experiences.
