-  - Make sure that your home directory and also your work directory on the cluster are at least readable to the group. E.g., In your .bashrc, set umask 007 and do the following: \\ ''chmod -R g+rwX ~ ; cdw; chmod -R g+rwX; cds; chmod -R g+rwX \\ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa'' \\ There might be some exceptions like your private ssh key at ''~/.ssh/id_rsa''  which must be readable only by you.+  - Make sure that your home directory and also your work directory on the cluster are at least readable to the group. E.g., In your .bashrc, set umask 007 and do the following: \\ ''chmod -R g+rwX ~ ; cdw; chmod -R g+rwX; cds; chmod -R g+rwX \\ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa'' \\ There might be some exceptions like your private ssh key at ''~/.ssh/id_rsa''  which must be readable only by you. You need to do this on ALL clusters including Lonestar and Ranch. On Ranch, adding umask in .bashrc. does not work. Instead, create or modify ~/.cshrc.

   - To use ref.bib bibliography in bibtex, do the following: \\ a) cd proj \\ b) git clone [[mailto:git@bitbucket.org:habilzare/refs.git|git@bitbucket.org:habilzare/refs.git]] \\  c) At the bottom of your LaTeX document, write: \\  \bibliography{\detokenize{~/proj/refs/refs}} \\  d) To add a new entry, find the appropriate format using "Google Scholar Button" (see above, click on the quotation mark at the to right, and then BibTeX at the bottom) copy the entry and see if it is already in the refs.bib file. If not, add it in "**its right location"**  (i.e., key are alphabetically ordered) and push. Use the key with the \cite command in your LaTeX file. To compile, use pdflatex, bibtex (without .tex), and pdflatex *2.   - To use ref.bib bibliography in bibtex, do the following: \\ a) cd proj \\ b) git clone [[mailto:git@bitbucket.org:habilzare/refs.git|git@bitbucket.org:habilzare/refs.git]] \\  c) At the bottom of your LaTeX document, write: \\  \bibliography{\detokenize{~/proj/refs/refs}} \\  d) To add a new entry, find the appropriate format using "Google Scholar Button" (see above, click on the quotation mark at the to right, and then BibTeX at the bottom) copy the entry and see if it is already in the refs.bib file.

   - If you are considering ultimately getting jobs in computational biology or bioinformatics, have a look at postings at the [[http://bioinformatics.org|bioinformatics.org]] website __within the first week__  after joining the lab. For academic positions, see the Nature Jobs and Science Careers websites. Read the articles on "[[http://oncinfo.org/how_to|How to]] rescue US biomedical research from its systemic flaws?" if you are, or want to be, a PhD student.   - If you are considering ultimately getting jobs in computational biology or bioinformatics, have a look at postings at the [[http://bioinformatics.org|bioinformatics.org]] website __within the first week__  after joining the lab.
