Mitchell L. Model

Bioinformatics Programming Using Python

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Powerful, flexible, and easy to use, Python is an ideal language for building software tools and applications for life science research and development. This unique book shows you how to program with Python, using code examples taken directly from bioinformatics. In a short time, you'll be using sophisticated techniques and Python modules that are particularly effective for bioinformatics programming.

Bioinformatics Programming Using Python is perfect for anyone involved with bioinformatics researchers, support staff, students, and software developers interested in writing bioinformatics applications. You'll find it useful whether you already use Python, write code in another language, or have no programming experience at all. It's an excellent self-instruction tool, as well as a handy reference when facing the challenges of real-life programming tasks.

- Become familiar with Python's fundamentals, including ways to develop simple applications

- Learn how to use Python modules for pattern matching, structured text processing, online data retrieval, and database access

- Discover generalized patterns that cover a large proportion of how Python code is used in bioinformatics

- Learn how to apply the principles and techniques of object-oriented programming

- Benefit from the "tips and traps" section in each chapter

Rezensionen

"Dieses Buch sollte JEDER lesen, der sich über Word/Excel hinaus mit Computern beschäftigen möchte. Nicht nur der Naturwissenschaftler. Auch wer sich "nur" für Computer interessiert, kommt hier innerhalb von kürzester Zeit "von Null auf 100".. und lernt quasi nebenbei allerhand über Biologie. Ich finde die Möglichkeiten von Python sehr sehr leistungsstark. Ich bin schon gespannt, mehr von diesem Autor zu lesen. Ein tolles Werk!" -- php-nuke.de, April 2010
