# 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.
