Python Programming for Biology: Bioinformatics and Beyond

Acknowledgements

We extend our sincere thanks to a group of intrepid volunteers who have been invaluable

in  the  proof-reading  and  testing  of  this  book:  Olga  Tkachenko,  Magnus  Lundborg,  Neil

Rzechorzek, Rasmus Fogh, Simon Fraser and Tom Drury.

Special thanks also go to David Judge, who has run the bioinformatics teaching facility

at Cambridge for many years and who made it very easy to give the Python courses that

eventually led to this book.

We acknowledge the support of the Medical Research Council and the Biotechnology

and  Biological  Sciences  Research  Council,  the  UK  funding  bodies  who  have  funded  the

scientific projects that we have been involved with over the years. This has allowed us to

use and develop our Python programming skills while remaining gainfully employed.
