Rate this book
Discover modern, next-generation sequencing libraries from Python ecosystem to analyze large amounts of biological data

Key FeaturesPerform complex bioinformatics analysis using the most important Python libraries and applicationsImplement next-generation sequencing, metagenomics, automating analysis, population genetics, and moreExplore various statistical and machine learning techniques for bioinformatics data analysisBook DescriptionBioinformatics is an active research field that uses a range of simple-to-advanced computations to extract valuable information from biological data.

This book covers next-generation sequencing, genomics, metagenomics, population genetics, phylogenetics, and proteomics. You'll learn modern programming techniques to analyze large amounts of biological data. With the help of real-world examples, you'll convert, analyze, and visualize datasets using various Python tools and libraries.

This book will help you get a better understanding of working with a Galaxy server, which is the most widely used bioinformatics web-based pipeline system. This updated edition also includes advanced next-generation sequencing filtering techniques. You'll also explore topics such as SNP discovery using statistical approaches under high-performance computing frameworks such as Dask and Spark.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to use and implement modern programming techniques and frameworks to deal with the ever-increasing deluge of bioinformatics data.
