Описание: The purpose of this book is to show the reader how to use the Python programming language to facilitate and automate the wide variety of data manipulation tasks en- countered in life science research and development. It is designed to be accessible to readers with a range of interests and backgrounds, both scientific and technical. It emphasizes practical programming, using meaningful examples of useful code. In ad- dition to meeting the needs of individual readers, it can also be used as a textbook for a one-semester upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level course. The book differs from traditional introductory programming texts in a variety of ways. It does not attempt to detail every possible variation of the mechanisms it describes, emphasizing instead the most frequently used. It offers an introduction to Python pro- gramming that is more rapid and in some ways more superficial than what would be found in a text devoted solely to Python or introductory programming. At the same time, it includes some advanced features, techniques, and topics that are often omitted from entry-level Python books. These are included because of their wide applicability in bioinformatics programming, and they are used extensively in the book’s examples.
