In Detail
Bioinformatics is an active research field that uses a range of computations to extract key information from the biological data. With this guide, you will have the required expertise to collect, store, retrieve, manipulate and model data for analysis, visualization or prediction using modern libraries from Python ecosystem.
This book will start off with the introduction to bioinformatics domain to understand the key concepts and terminologies. With this book, you will discover DNA sequencing technologies applied in OMICS analysis. You will understand the steps involved in RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and metagenomics data processing. You will perform simple-to-advanced computations to extract valuable information from biological data. Through real-world examples, this book will show you to collect, clean and visualize data to perform advanced data analysis and predictions. You will learn how to process pathway and ontology information. You will get a better understanding of the workflows in the bioinformatics domain to help you with your research at work or projects. You will implement machine learning techniques to perform efficient bioinformatic analysis on a range of data.
By the end of this book, you will understand how bioinformatics is revolutionizing high-performance computing, big data, and machine learning.
