Welcome to the HPC Wiki for the Bioinformatics research group at Aberystwyth University. The aim of this wiki is to allow researchers in the field of Bioinformatics in IBERS at Aberystwyth to document common tasks using the High Performance Computing cluster.

Troubleshooting

Please read these sections if you are having trouble. There is a chance that you can resolve the problem on your own and ask for help more effectively otherwise. Some (most) of these ideas are shamelessly taken from the stackoverflow help pages.
