More and more scientists find themselves facing exponentially larger data sets and analysis, without the right tools to deal with them. Many biologists use a spreadsheet program, most of the data processing tasks, spend a few hours clicking around, copy and paste, and then repeat the process, other data files.
The practical computational biologists tell you how to use the many free calculation tool, more powerful, more effective work. This book is the author’s own experience, to help other biologists in their research and development tools, born out of their computing problems. Although many technology-related molecular bioinformatics, the motivation for this book to a much broader focus on topics and technologies, is applicable to a range of scientific career. The 24 chapters are organized into six sections address these topics and more:
Regular expression search
In the Unix command line
Python programming and debugging
Create and edit graphics
Database
On the remote server to perform the analysis
Work with electronic
Although most of the concepts and examples, applicable to any operating system, the main narrative focus on Mac OS X there are differences between the Windows and Linux users, parallel instruction of margin, and in the appendix. Be used as a self-guided study resources supporting the course book, or as a main textbook, the purpose of this book. The practical computational biologists will release the data processing, so you can focus on the fun of scientific inquiry, the most frustrating and time-consuming aspect.
