PYTHON FOR BIOINFORMATICS SECOND EDITION CHAPMAN & HALL/CRC Mathematical and Computational Biology Series Aims and scope: This series aims to capture new developments and summarize what is known over the entire spectrum of mathematical and computational biology and medicine. It seeks to encourage the integration of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods into biology by publishing a broad range of textbooks, reference works, and handbooks. The titles included in the series are meant to appeal to students, researchers, and professionals in the mathematical, statistical and computational sciences, fundamental biology and bioengineering, as well as interdisciplinary researchers involved in the field. The inclusion of concrete examples and applications, and programming techniques and examples, is highly encouraged. Series Editors N. F. Britton Department of Mathematical Sciences University of Bath Xihong Lin Department of Biostatistics Harvard University Nicola Mulder University of Cape Town South Africa Maria Victoria Schneider European Bioinformatics Institute Mona Singh Department of Computer Science Princeton University Anna Tramontano Department of Physics University of Rome La Sapienza Proposals for the series should be submitted to one of the series editors above or directly to: CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group 3 Park Square, Milton Park Abingdon, Oxfordshire OX14 4RN UK Published Titles An Introduction to Systems Biology: Statistical Methods for QTL Mapping Design Principles of Biological Circuits Zehua Chen Uri Alon An Introduction to Physical Oncology: Glycome Informatics: Methods and How Mechanistic Mathematical Applications Modeling Can Improve Cancer Therapy Kiyoko F.
