In Computing Skills for Biologists, Stefano Allesina and Madlen Wilmes present a valuable toolbox for the effective analysis of biological data.Based on the authors’ experiences teaching scientific computing at the University of Chicago, this textbook emphasizes the automation of repetitive tasks and the construction of pipelines for data organization, analysis, visualization, and publication. Stressing practice rather than theory, the book’s examples and exercises are drawn from actual biological data and solve cogent problems spanning the entire breadth of biological disciplines, including ecology, genetics, microbiology, and molecular biology. Beginners will benefit from the many examples explained step-by-step, while more seasoned researchers will learn how to combine tools to make biological data analysis robust and reproducible. The book uses free software and code that can be run on any platform.Computing Skills for Biologists is ideal for scientists wanting to improve their technical skills and instructors looking to teach the main computing tools essential for biology research in the twenty-first century.Excellent resource for acquiring comprehensive computing skillsBoth novice and experienced scientists will increase efficiency by building automated and reproducible pipelines for biological data analysisCode examples based on published data spanning the breadth of biological disciplinesDetailed solutions provided for exercises in each chapterExtensive companion websiteCountry/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Science Nature & MathTopic: Computing & InternetRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
