Bioinformatics programming in Python :
Flaig, Ruediger-Marcus.
Bioinformatics programming in Python : a practical course for beginners / Ruediger-Marcus Flaig. - Germany : Wiley-VCH, c2008. - ix, 418 p. ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Classification of Programming Languages -- Getting the Materials: Python program and documentation -- Variables, Data Types, Assignments -- Flow Control -- Worked Example #1 -- Functions and Procedures -- Worked Example #2 -- The Object-oriented World -- Worked Example #3 -- Top-down Versus Bottom-up Strategies -- Worked Example #4 -- Sorting and Searching -- Welcome to the Library -- Programming Exercise: Trimethizing a File -- Dealing with Errors -- Programming Exercise: Generating a Restriction Map -- Advanced Techniques in Python -- Programming Exercise: Python goes PCR
This first introductory book designed to train novice programmers is based on a student course taught by the author, and has been optimized for biology students without previous experience in programming. By interspersing theory chapters with numerous small and large programming exercises, the author quickly shows readers how to do their own programming, and throughout uses anecdotes and real-life examples from the biosciences to 'spice up' the text. This practical book thus teaches essential programming skills for life scientists who want -- or need -- to write their own bioinformatics software tools.
