# Introduction

Hello! You made it to ESPM 112L, I am your TA, Preston Tasoff. Are you new to the lab and want a crash course on metagenome resolved genomics? Or are you wanting to brush up your skills? Here is the place for you! There are 12 weeks of tutorials, each with a powerpoint presentation, and some with data attached. Make sure you have a ggkbase account and biotite account before starting!

For some of the code, just keep in mind we had limited threads to work in the class server with. You have a max of 16 threads you can use on biotite, so adjust the code accordingly for this, or for a slurm submission script.
