Preamble:

Soft tips is a public Notion's page by Dr. Denis Jacob Machado. This project was crated on June 2, 2022, and the idea is to organize random software tips and protocols, mostly associated with bioinformatics and phyloinformatics.

The project will grow and become more interesting with time. Meanwhile, use any information in here at your risk (they come with no guarantees).
