Chapter 12: Data handling using Python
Abstract
Recent advances in the life and computer sciences have permitted the use of computational techniques to address critical problems. Python is a free general-purpose programming language that is simple to learn and apply to a wide range of computational tasks. Python may be used to handle a variety of difficulties that research labs confront on a daily basis. Using computers and an appropriate programming language, it is possible to execute tasks such as data manipulation, biological data retrieval and parsing, automation, and simulation of biological problems efficiently. The goal of this chapter is to give a high-level look at the Python programming language, showing how it works and what it ...
