Written in a fun, accessible and engaging style, this book will
introduce you to the Python language with fully worked examples of
Python code drawn from all aspects of life sciences, including
bioinformatics, structural biology, developmental biology, and
evolutionary biology and ecology.
Using familiar examples designed specifically for life scientists,
you'll learn the basics of the language from the very first chapters and
progress from there. You'll find out how to use Python to automate lab
calculations, search for gene promoter sequences, rotate a molecular
bond, build a cellular toggle switch, model animal coat pattern
formation, grow a virtual plant, simulate a flu epidemic, or evolve
populations.
Python for the Life Sciences provides the tools, confidence and
inspiration to start crafting your own Python solutions for the
challenges you face in your research. If you are a life scientist
interested in learning Python to jump-start your research, this book is
for you.
What You'll Learn
• Write Python scripts to automate your lab calculations
• Search for important motifs in genome sequences
• Use object-oriented programming with Python
• Study mining interaction network data for patterns
• Review dynamic modeling of biochemical switches
Who This Book Is For
Life scientists with little or no programming experience, including
undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers in
academia and industry, medical professionals, and teachers/lecturers.
