How to write if else statements in bash: Adding logic to scripts to take different paths (CC021)
In this screencast tutorial, Pat Schloss shows how you can use if else statements to direct the path taken through a bash script. We'll also learn how to gracefully leave a script if it runs into an error using the same concepts. Today's content will also be important as we determine the degree to which inter- and intra-genomic variation limit the interpretation of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs; aka exact sequence variants or ESVs) for different regions within the 16S rRNA gene. This is an important question for microbiome researchers.
Pat demonstrates these concepts by live coding at the command line interface using RStudio, GitHub Flow, and make. He then turns viewers loose to work through several activities to answer related questions and finishes by giving his solutions.
