Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics
James Tisdall
Publisher: O'Reilly
First Edition October 2001
ISBN: 0-596-00080-4, 384 pages
This book shows biologists with little or no programming
experience how to use Perl, the ideal language for biological
data analysis. Each chapter focuses on solving particular
problems or class of problems, so you'll finish the book with a
solid understanding of Perl basics, a collection of programs for
such tasks as parsing BLAST and GenBank, and the skills to
tackle more advanced bioinformatics programming.
