HANDS-ON DATA SCIENCE FOR BIOLOGISTS USING PYTHON HAS BEEN CONCEPTUALIZED TO ADDRESS THE MASSIVE DATA HANDLING NEEDS OF MODERN-DAY BIOLOGISTS. WITH THE ADVENT OF HIGH THROUGHPUT TECHNOLOGIES AND CONSEQUENT AVAILABILITY OF OMICS DATA, BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE HAS BECOME A DATA-INTENSIVE FIELD. THIS HANDS-ON TEXTBOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN WITH THE INCEPTION OF EASING DATA ANALYSIS BY PROVIDING AN INTERACTIVE, PROBLEM-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH IN PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. THE BOOK STARTS WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON AND STEADILY DELVES INTO SCRUPULOUS TECHNIQUES OF DATA HANDLING, PREPROCESSING, AND VISUALIZATION. THE BOOK CONCLUDES WITH MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL DATA SCIENCE. EACH TOPIC HAS AN INTUITIVE EXPLANATION OF CONCEPTS AND IS ACCOMPANIED WITH BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES.
