Moving beyond the preinstalled commands on TACC

If (or when) you looked at what our edits to the .profile file did, you would have seen that the last lines were a series of "module load XXXX" commands, and a promise to talk more about them later. I'm sure you will be thrilled to learn that now is that time... As a "classically trained wet-lab biologist" one of the most difficult things I have experienced in computational analysis has been in installing new programs to improve my analysis. Programs and their installation instructions tend (or appear) to be written by computational biologists in what at times feels like a foreign language, particularlly particularly when a particular when things start going wrong. Luckily TACC (and the BioIteam) help get around a large number of these problems by preinstalling many programs if you know where to look.
