โฆ Synopsis
Assuming readers have had no formal training in computer science, Jamison (genomics and informatics, George Mason U.) uses examples of problems faced by biologists to introduce the most widely used scripting language in bioinformatics. Readers learn how to correct recurring errors in spreadsheets, scan a Fasta sequence for every occurrence of an EcoRI site, adapt other writer's scripts, and write reusable and maintainable scripts.
