Brimming with scientific insight into the habitat internal structure and other such attributes of wasps this is an interesting book. Besides arguing that the wasps do not come into the chronology of the theory of evolution he presents many interesting perspectives about these insects. This engrossing work is filled with information and knowledge.

In today's data driven biology, programming knowledge is essential in turning ideas into testable hypothesis. Based on the author’s extensive experience, Python for Bioinformatics, Second Edition helps biologists get to grips with the basics of software development. Requiring no prior knowledge...

Green fluorescent proteins have been floating in the ocean for more than 160 million years, but it took a curious scientist, fascinated by pinpricks of green light, to begin unlocking their potential. Now these jellyfish proteins have become one of the most important tools available to researchers...
