   - Do NOT use space in the file or folder names. Do NOT include binary files such as png, pdf, RData, etc. in a Bitbucket repository unless on an exceptional basis. Instead, use e.g., ''rsync -avz -e ssh <usrname>@ls5.tacc.utexas.edu''  or ''scp ''to transfer files, and document the exact paths in a readme file in the corresponding folder.   - Do NOT use space in the file or folder names.

   - If you want to use TACC resources, you first [[https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/account-request|create]] an account, and then ask Habil to add you to a project. A simple test for running a job on Stampede cluster is the following. Look at their user [[https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/user-guides/stampede|guide]] or [[https://srcc.stanford.edu/sge-slurm-conversion|this]] table of commands for more details. \\  $ ssh <username>@stampede.tacc.utexas.edu \\  $ cd ~zare \\  login4.stampede(1)$ sbatch -p normal -n 1 -t 3 ./test.sh \\  We usually use Lonestar5 for computing and Ranch for storage of large data.   - If you want to use TACC resources, you first [[https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/account-request|create]] an account, and then ask Habil to add you to a project.

-  - Every member should upload their photo to his profile in the wiki. Todo this, click on your username at the top right, then, Account. In addition, everyone should have a photo and their updated CV in pdf format on their personal page. [[:file_view_cv_template.zip_543305154_cv_template.zip|This]] is an optional LaTeX template. The permission of any lab notebook (lano) should be set to "hidden"and it is important that they be updated EVERY day. [[https://civihosting.com/|CiviHosting]] provides us with two edit modes: ckg and DW. Use the one that is more convenient for you. Write your posts in anti-chronological order so that the newest post comes at the top.+  - Every member should upload their photo to his profile in the wiki.

   - You can install Google Scholar [[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-scholar-button/ldipcbpaocekfooobnbcddclnhejkcpn?hl=en|Button]] add-on for an easier way of searching Google Scholar. You select the paper title and then click on the little blue icon on the top right corner. For any paper which you want to cite on the lab wiki, find it on Google Scholar, click on "More>Cite" and copy the MLA format.   - You can install Google Scholar [[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-scholar-button/ldipcbpaocekfooobnbcddclnhejkcpn?hl=en|Button]] add-on for an easier way of searching Google Scholar.

   - Code style in Oncinfo lab: We follow Hadley Wickhams’s R Style [[http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/style.html|Guide]] unless another convention is mentioned below. The goal is to include as much code as possible on 1 page so that it is easier to skim while keeping the overall structure such as proper indentation. \\  When writing R code, use "x <- 5" for assigning a value to a variable. Do NOT use "x = 5" or "x<-5". **Do NOT use underscore, '_', in variable or function names**. Instead of "inverse_of", use "inverseOf" as a variable name so that you can select it by 1 click. Use "inverse.of" as a function name to indicate it is a function not a variable. Almost all functions must return a list so that extending them will be easy. Use "##" for comments NOT a single "#". Write the name of the loaded object in a comment in front of load(). Avoid long lines of code. Most lines should be < 90 characters, and all lines must be <100 characters . Thus, do NOT include space when using = in function calls. Good example: ''average <- mean(feet[ ,"real"]/12+inches, na.rm=TRUE) ## Spaces only around "<-" and after ","''. The space in "''[ ,''" is OK, which refers to all rows. It is OK not to place a space before the parenthesis after "''if(''", "''for(''", and alike. \\ When the line is long, it usually means you need to extract some of it and define a new variable right above that line.Data structures in R can be ordered from simple to complex as follows: number , vector, matrix, and list. Always use the simplest possible data structure, e.i., do not use a list when you can use a matrix.   - Code style in Oncinfo lab: We follow Hadley Wickhams’s R Style [[http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/style.html|Guide]] unless another convention is mentioned below.
