Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gatb-core-testdata on Kali Linux.

What is gatb-core-testdata

gatb-core-testdata is:

The GATB-CORE project provides a set of highly efficient algorithms to analyse NGS data sets. These methods enable the analysis of data sets of any size on multi-core desktop computers, including very huge amount of reads data coming from any kind of organisms such as bacteria, plants, animals and even complex samples (e.g. metagenomes). Read more about GATB at https://gatb.inria.fr/. By itself GATB-CORE is not an NGS data analysis tool. However, it can be used to create such tools. There already exist a set of ready-to-use tools relying on GATB-CORE library: see https://gatb.inria.fr/software/

This package contains some data to test the library.
