Exploring Bioinformatics with Python
An attempt to put the Exploring Bioinformatics with Python material into Drupal form.
Why Python?
The original Exploring Bioinformatics uses Perl as its primary programming language. Why are we making the switch to Python? For a number of reasons.
- Evidence suggests that Python is easier to learn than Perl.
- Python is typically used in an interactive style, which seems more natural for many of the explorations.
- Python is seeing increasing use in Bioinformatics.
