Warning
Do not use both bioinfo and biocontainers in your job script, because loading bioinfo will cause the failure of loading many modules including biocontainers in Anvil, Bell, Gautschi, Negishi, Gilbreth and Scholar. Since RCAC will not provide support to bioinfo in the future clusters, we recommend users to just use biocontainers.
