# File formats, alignment, and genomic features This module is based the online [Coursera course Command Line Tools for Genomic Data Science offered by Johns Hopkins University](https://www.coursera.org/learn/genomic-tools/home/welcome). In this module, we will explore the primary data formats used in genomic data analysis and learn how to use command-line tools to process and analyze them. ## Course material for genomic data analysis ### On the server The example data materials are stored on our server, we will give a path once you open a user . The files are organized by type and assignment. You need to copy them to your working directory to begin working with them. **Note:** All upcoming file paths will be provided relative to this directory. ### On Zenodo Additionally, the example data materials are stored on Zenodo. You can download them and use them locally on your computer. {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://edu.abi.am/ngs-data-analysis-and-functional-genomics/file-formats-alignment-and-genomic-features.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
