常言道:“工欲善其事,必先利其器”。国内多数计算机用户使用的都是Windows操作系统,甚至连科研单位也在所难免。出现这样的情况原因很多,对于一个Bio-technician而言,离不开Win的一个很大的原因是所用的专业软件运行平台离不开它。实际上,很多科研软件都是先有*nix版本的,或者有些就只有那些版本。本人之前也一直很痛苦在Ubuntu上用不了DANMAN(在Ubuntu 8.04的时侯我Wine过,但Ubuntu 9.04时侯就完全用不了了)。其实,Ubuntu的源里面就有很多这样的软件。
命令:
yuanjin@yuanjin-laptop:~$ apt-cache DNA >DNA.txt
//根据软件的描述来搜索关键词“DNA”,返回的结果输出到文本DNA.txt
yuanjin@yuanjin-laptop:~$ gedit DNA.txt
//用gedit打开文本DNA.txt后就可以根据自己需要寻找软件了。
PS:返回的结果中有部份可能会与DNA毫无关系,但是搜索到的东西比新德立软件管理器中搜到的多多了。
附-筛选过之后的搜索结果(搞我们这行的,估计这些外文都不是问题了,有兴趣自己看。重点推荐Ugene这款功能相对强悍的整合软件工具包,访问主页)。
