Bioinformatics with Python Cookbook: Solve advanced computational biology problems and build production pipelines with Python and AI tools

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the vast number of Python tools available for bioinformatics, you're not alone. The Bioinformatics with Python Cookbook is a recipe-based guide that explores practical approaches for solving classic bioinformatics challenges, showing you which Python packages work best for each task.

You’ll start with the essential Python libraries for data science and bioinformatics, then move through key workflows in sequencing analysis, quality control, alignment, and variant calling. Along the way, you’ll pick up modern coding practices, explore recent advances in bioinformatics research, and gain hands-on experience with libraries such as NumPy, pandas, and sci-kit learn. This book walks you through core bioinformatics tasks such as phylogenetic analysis and population genomics while familiarizing you with the wealth of modern public bioinformatics databases. You’ll learn cloud computing approaches used by researchers, set up workflow orchestration systems for controlling bioinformatics pipelines, and see how AI and the use of large language models (LLMs) are reshaping the field–right down to designing proteins and DNA.

By the end of this book, you’ll be ready to apply Python for real bioinformatics work and launch bioinformatics pipelines for your research.
