Varsha Shridhar is...

... learning Unix!! OMG!
....Taking a giant leap into the dark side!

Actually, this stuff is a lot more exciting than I'd envisioned.

Might I direct similarly clueless, yet interested, folks to this page: http://korflab.ucdavis.edu/Unix_and_Perl/

Hoping to be able to write my own Perl scripts to quickly extract large amounts of relevant genomic data!

Whoa! Should I say 'welcome to the wonderland!'

When in trouble remember to just google it. That's how I learnt Unix and the little bit of Perl I know. Also, try to learn Shell scripting (if you are going to work on Linux, nothing makes your life easier). Data manipulation becomes a breeze. I only know bits and pieces of all of those. I'm trying to learn Python now, very very slowly. I'm so thrilled you got into this stuff. haha.
