Hello Tony and everybdoy, indeed, the Pi will be of limited use with all the programs that load whole genomes in the memory, but perhaps you can workaround this by focusing the teaching on model organisms ? I am unsure for Arabidopsis, but with luck, Drosophila or Caenorhabditis could be doable, and in any case, there is a lot of NGS data on yeast; not to mention all the work in prokaryotes that I am not so familiar with. If the teaching examples can be summarised as executable files producing reproducible output, they could become an interesting regression test for Debian Med. This would be particularly useful as we have only limited experience on doing bioinformatics on ARM platforms, while we do have serious evidence that some of the programs we distribute are only reliable on amd64 (x86_64).
