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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures of this book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe book contains standard templates for data analysis using Python, suitable for beginners as well as advanced learners. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThis book shows working implementations of data handling and machine learning algorithms using real-life biological datasets and problems, such as gene expression analysis; disease prediction; image recognition; SNP association with phenotypes and diseases.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsidering the importance of visualization for data interpretation, especially in biological systems, there is a dedicated chapter for the ease of data visualization and plotting.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvery chapter is designed to be interactive and is accompanied with Jupyter notebook to prompt readers to practice in their local systems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther avant-garde component of the book is the inclusion of a machine learning project, wherein various machine learning algorithms are applied for the identification of genes associated with age-related disorders.
