Computing Skills for Biologists is a valuable gift for students, and if it had been available when I was a student, I know I would have benefited greatly from it. This textbook looks into the craft of computational biology research, showing how it can be conducted with more efficiency and ease. --Martin Rosvall, Ume University Allesina and Wilmes dedicate their book to 'all biologists who thought they couldn't code': we often thought we couldn't for lack of comprehensive resources. Computing Skills for Biologists changes this situation and should find a home on every biologist's bookshelf. --Timoth e Poisot, University of Montreal I admire this book's depth and breadth of coverage. --Matthew Gitzendanner, University of Florida This textbook helps advanced undergraduates and graduate students gain familiarity with computational skills that will allow them to do really useful research. The material tackled by the text is challenging, but Allesina and Wilmes have developed an effective way to help students learn. There isn't anything else out there like it and I'm going to definitely adopt it for course use. --Michael Alfaro, University of California, Los Angeles
