Life scientists urgently need training in bioinformatics skills, and this practical guide shows how to exploit Python to solve biological problems while creating documented, tested, and reproducible software. Ken Youens-Clark, author of Tiny Python Projects (Manning), demonstrates how to write effective Python code and use tests to write
