A concise introduction to key computing skills for biologists While
biological data continues to grow exponentially in size and
quality, many of today's biologists are not trained adequately in
the computing skills necessary for leveraging this information
deluge. 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 skills Both novice and
experienced scientists will increase efficiency by building
automated and reproducible pipelines for biological data analysis
Code examples based on published data spanning the breadth of
biological disciplines Detailed solutions provided for exercises in
each chapter Extensive companion website
