What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

This is the only book I can find on this topic. It’s very useful for me as a person who is relatively familiar to classical machine learning but just step into the field of genomics. I notice some comments mentioning that the book is a bit shallow. However, the book is just right to me. I like the Genomics Data Analysis part, which gives concrete examples. By these examples, I get a taste and have an idea about what people in this field are doing. My favorite part of the book is that the author gives many use cases and code examples. I’m sure this is a big topic and agree that if you want to understand the topic deeper, having this book only is not enough. But I’ll strongly recommend this book as a start for people like me. Btw, giving the paper book buyers an additional digital copy is another thing I like about the book.

This book assumes technical knowledge so it is not for someone who is totally new to coding and deep learning. I think this book is a great primer for software developers who are new to genomics but have some solid fundamentals of classical machine learning and biology. It covers all the important topics of deep learning in genomics but you should not expect yourself to become an expert after reading this book. It saves you time, as a software developer who is new to genomics and deep learning, to sieve through the relevant topics and materials yourself by googling online. I wish I had this book handy when I did my onboarding for my previous job at a biotech startup. If you are looking for a primer to this topic, then this book is for you.

This textbook offers a practical and informative overview of the convergence of machine learning and biotechnology. It caters to individuals with experience in both fields and serves as a comprehensive concept refresher. Particularly valuable is its introduction to deep learning models in the context of biology and their interpretability. The inclusion of projects and code snippets empowers readers to embark on future endeavors confidently.

OVERVIEWThis textbook is a great high level overview of the concepts, tools, and techniques at the intersection of ML and biotechnology, but it could benefit from a few more rounds of content balancing and visual inclusion.+ This textbook is massively practical for those who are looking to understand the intersection of ML and genetics, and already have some experience in both fields.+ I studied data science and genetics, and I found the textbook to be both a **thorough concept refresher** and a **useful introduction for DL bio models and their interpretability**.+ The **practical inclusion of projects and code snippets** made any future projects I pursue to be a lot more accessible now that I know what tools to begin with.+ Talking about **typical practices and use-cases of different models/packages and how to manage and optimize them** was a refreshing take, compared to many textbooks that lack little real-world application+ Chapters are generally well-organized and build upon knowledge from prior chapters. Summaries at end of chapters are concise but still provide a thorough overview of the chapter- The **balance of content allocated** between introductory vs more complex topics **is uneven**. This makes the later DL chapters less accessible to those without a thorough ML background, as some topics seem to be glossed over- The textbook could also **benefit from having more visuals** and **fewer blocks of text**, both of which would increase the digestibility of the work. There are some great figures (e.g. figure 5.3) but more to break up the text and visually explain tough concepts would be helpful.A lot of work has gone into the textbook and it is very useful, but it requires some visual reshaping and rebalancing of depth to improve the reader experience.
