Too many bioinformatics programs are poorly written and barely maintained--usually students and researchers who've 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.'margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;'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. You'll learn the latest Python features and toolsÃ??including linters, formatters, type checkers, and testsÃ??to create documented and tested programs. You'll also tackle 14 challenges in Rosalind, a problem-solving platform for learning bioinformatics and programming.
