A necessary and timely upgrade of Python for Bioinformatics, as 2 nd edition (Book review).

Herein I review recently published book Python for Bioinformatics 2nd Edition. By Sebastian Bassi, Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematical and Computational Biology, 2017. ISBN: 978-1138035263. With technological advancements, 2nd edition of this book is an excellent upgrade from first edition with several new implementations such as python 3, NoSQL, Anoconda, Git (version control management) and bottle (framework for web development). It is very well written with concise and clear code examples. The detailed explanations of python codes are provided. Dr. Bassi has made available all examples codes as Jupyter Notebooks (via Microsoft Azure) and also at the GitHub. This book is strongly recommended for training in python for Biocomputing and bioinformatics. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
