Description: Mastering Python for Bioinformatics by Ken Youens-Clark Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This practical guide shows postdoc bioinformatics professionals and students how to exploit the best parts of Python to solve problems in biology while creating documented, tested, reproducible software. Publisher Description Life scientists today urgently need training in bioinformatics skills. Too many bioinformatics programs are poorly written and barely maintained--usually by students and researchers whove never learned basic programming skills. This practical guide shows postdoc bioinformatics professionals and students how to exploit the best parts of Python to solve problems in biology while creating documented, tested, reproducible software.Ken Youens-Clark, author of Tiny Python Projects (Manning), demonstrates not only how to write effective Python code but also how to use tests to write and refactor scientific programs. Youll learn the latest Python features and tools - including linters, formatters, type checkers, and tests - to create documented and tested programs. Youll also tackle 14 challenges in Rosalind, a problem-solving platform for learning bioinformatics and programming.Create command-line Python programs to document and validate parametersWrite tests to verify refactor programs and confirm theyre correctAddress bioinformatics ideas using Python data structures and modules such as BiopythonCreate reproducible shortcuts and workflows using makefilesParse essential bioinformatics file formats such as FASTA and FASTQFind patterns of text using regular expressionsUse higher-order functions in Python like filter(), map(), and reduce() Author Biography Ken Youens-Clark works as a Data Engineer at The Critical Path Institute where he helps partners in industry, academia, and government find novel drug therapies for diseases ranging from cancer and tuberculosis to thousands of rare diseases. His career in bioinformatics began in 2001 when he joined a plant genomics project at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Lincoln Stein, a prominent author of books and modules in Perl and an early advocate for open software, data, and science. In 2014 Ken moved to Tucson, AZ, to work as a Senior Scientific Programmer at the University of Arizona where he completed a MS in Biosystems Engineering in 2019. While at UA, Ken enjoyed teaching programming and bioinformatics skills, and used some of those ideas in his first book, Tiny Python Projects (Manning, 2020), which uses a test-driven development approach to teaching Python.
