Implement next-generation sequencing, metagenomics, automating analysis, population genetics, and more

Explore various statistical and machine learning techniques for bioinformatics data analysis

Description

Bioinformatics 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.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Data data Scientistsscientists, Bioinformatics bioinformatics analysts, researchers, and Python developers who want to address intermediate-to-advanced biological and bioinformatics problems using a recipe-based approach. Working knowledge of the Python programming language is expected.

What you will learn

Learn how to process large next-generation sequencing (NGS) datasets

Work with genomic dataset using the FASTQ, BAM, and VCF formats

Learn to perform sequence comparison and phylogenetic reconstruction

Perform complex analysis with protemics data

Use Python to interact with Galaxy servers

Use High-performance computing techniques with Dask and Spark

Visualize protein dataset interactions using Cytoscape

Use PCA and Decision Trees, two machine learning techniques, with biological datasets

What are credits?

Credits can be earned from reading 40 section of any title within the payment cycle - a month starting from the day of subscription payment. You also earn a Credit every month if you subscribe to our annual or 18 month plans. Credits can be used to buy books DRM free, the same way that you would pay for a book. Your credits can be found in the subscription homepage - subscription.packtpub.com - clicking on ‘the my’ library dropdown and selecting ‘credits’.

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.

I know of no other book covering the Advanced Bioinformatics/Biopython topics found in this book.This is not an introductory book ...

This book is very insightful with all the step by step instructions on different projects one can try with Bioinformatics using Python. This book is not too simplistic (some previous knowledge assumed), meanwhile it is not too hard that readers cannot follow through. If one wants to jump into Bioinformatics with Python, this is the book to read!Word of Warning: Some knowledge in Bioinformatics and Python is assumed in the book.

Dieses Buch ist nicht für "Anfänger" geeignet. Was es nicht leistet: Es erklärt nicht die Sprache Python und nicht die im Buch verwendeten Algorithmen. Es ist ja auch eine Rezeptsammlung!!! Allerdings muss man die Küche vorher selbst bauen oder um es konkret zu sagen: Man sollte sich mit Anaconda auskennen - und das am besten auf Linux oder Ubuntu... Unter Windows wird man vermutlich nur den halben Spaß haben, da einige benötigte Tools dort nicht laufen. Der Autor erklärt das gut. Leider ist der Code insofern veraltet, als nicht mehr zugängliche Libraries verwendet werden. An einigen Stellen hilft dann Auskommentieren des Codes weiter. Der Autor hat auf Anfrage nach Hinweisen zur Korrektur des Codes auch bisher nur geantwortet, dass das Buch 2018 geschrieben sei und zu dem Zeitpunkt der Code noch funktionierte (die Abschaffung der problematischen Libraries wurde auch damals schon länger debattiert). Für ein Buch, zu dem eine Seite mit Druckfehlern existiert (die leer ist) und ein Repository im Internet (enthält aber nur die nicht rund laufenden Codes), ist das schwach. Ich hätte mir zumindest aktualisierten Code gewünscht. Immerhin merkt man dem Buch an, wie gerne der Autor seine Faszination weitergeben würde. Außerdem konnte ich ein Rezept nach einigen kleinen Korrekturen und Anpassungen auch für eine spielerische Analyse von COVID-DNA verwenden. Daher gebe ich gerne die drei Sterne als Bewertung. Aber ich sage es nochmal ausdrücklich: Um eine Sammlung von Rezepten, die man ohne Vorkenntnisse und Mühe nachkochen kann, handelt es sich nicht!

El libro llegó sin el empaquetado correcto (no emplayado como usualmente venden los libros), doblado de varias hojas y pasta, además las hojas del canto manchadas al parecer con lo que podrían ser dedos. Estamos en cuarentena por covid-19 y debería venir protegido el ejemplar lo mejor posible y contar con el emplayado habitual de los libros que es el que evita sea manoseado directamente.
