Description: "Upon completing the book, readers will be able to quickly perform such tasks as correcting recurring errors in spreadsheets, scanning a Fasta sequence for every occurrence of an EcoRI site, adapting other writers' scripts to one's own purposes, and most important, writing reusable and maintainable scripts that will spare the rote repetition of code. Students, biologists, and other life scientists will find Perl Programming for Biologists to be an essential resource."--Jacket.
