Mastering Python for Bioinformatics
Life scientists today urgently need training in bioinformatics skills. Too many bioinformatics programs are poorly written and barely maintained--usually by students and researchers who've never learned basic programming skills. This practical guide shows postdoc bioinformatics professionals and students how to exploit the best parts of Python to solve problems in biology while creating documented, tested, reproducible software.Ken Youens-Clark, author of Tiny Python Projects (Manning), demonstrates not only how to write effective Python code but also how to use tests to write and refactor scientific programs. You'll learn the latest Python features and tools - including linters, formatters, type checkers, and tests - to create documented and tested programs. You'll also tackle 14 challenges in Rosalind, a problem-solving platform for learning bioinformatics and programming.Create command-line Python programs to document and validate parametersWrite tests to verify refactor programs and confirm they're correctAddress bioinformatics ideas using Python data structures and modules such as BiopythonCreate reproducible shortcuts and workflows using makefilesParse essential bioinformatics file formats such as FASTA and FASTQFind patterns of text using regular expressionsUse higher-order functions in Python like filter(), map(), and reduce()

Scaling Python with Ray
Serverless computing enables developers to concentrate solely on their applications rather than worry about where they've been deployed. With the Ray general-purpose serverless implementation in Python, programmers and data scientists can hide servers, implement stateful applications, support direct communication between tasks, and access hardware accelerators.In this book, authors Holden Karau and Boris Lublinsky show you how to scale existing Python applications and pipelines, allowing you to stay in the Python ecosystem while avoiding single points of failure and manual scheduling. If your data processing has grown beyond what a single computer can handle, this book is for you.Written by experienced software architecture practitioners, Scaling Python with Ray is ideal for software architects and developers eager to explore successful case studies and learn more about decision and measurement effectiveness. This book covers distributed processing (the pure Python implementation of serverless) and shows you how to:Implement stateful applications with Ray actorsBuild workflow management in RayUse Ray as a unified platform for batch and streamingImplement advanced data processing with RayApply microservices with Ray platformImplement reliable Ray applications
