Changes

Starting Fall 2019 we adopt [https://www.docker.com/ docker] to run our course material . We have created various [https://hub.docker.com/u/statisticalgenetics docker repositories] with source material freely available from [https://github.com/statgenetics/statgen-courses github] for users to readily setup and reproduce our tutorials on their own computers. These docker images can also be used as production tool to run relevant software on your computer (Mac, Linux or Windows) or even a high performance computing cluster (if properly configured) for your own data analysis.

* [https://github.com/statgenetics/statgen-courses/wiki/How-to-launch-course-tutorials#alternative-to-cloud-server-use-your-own-computer Instructions to setup course tutorial environment on your computer]

We use a script [https://github.com/statgenetics/statgen-courses/blob/master/src/statgen-setup "statgen-setup"] to start the docker based environments for these tutorials. Please refer to the previous section for instructions on the installation of this script.

Material and instructions for specific exercise are listed in each section below (''only those using statgen-setup command are relevant to our docker based tutorials''). They provide links to materials and a minimal set of commands to use for launching and running an exercise.
