About The Book
Practical Computing for Biologists is an essential guide for biologists dealing with large data sets and computational challenges in their research. Written by Steven H. D. Haddock, the book offers step-by-step instructions on using freely available tools to process data more efficiently.
The book is designed to help biologists master practical computing techniques using the Unix command line, Python programming, and other essential tools for data management and analysis. It covers key areas such as:
-
Searching with regular expressions
-
Python programming and debugging
-
Creating and editing graphics
-
Working with databases
-
Performing analyses on remote servers
The book also provides solutions for handling the common frustrations associated with spreadsheet-based data analysis. Although the primary focus is on Mac OS X, instructions for Windows and Linux users are also included.
The book is ideal for self-guided learning, as a course companion, or as a primary textbook. It empowers researchers to overcome computational barriers and refocus on scientific inquiry.
