im sorry man, but the whole point of biology is the ability to apply the knowledge youve gained from classes and/or lab situations to different problems. if you cant do that, you wont make it far. im a first year graduate student and a strict microbiologist with no programming experience, and after reading 5 chapters i was able to create a program that searched a sequence file for a possible primer, checked and told me if it was a forward or reverse primer (depending on the motif i typed in and which version of it matched the sequence) it told me how far from either the 5' or 3' end it is (again depending on the directionality) and assigned it a name based off of the direction and the position of the 3' end nucleotide along with showing me the sequence it matched or is the reverse complement to. the point is, yes this isnt a strict perl book, its more of an applied perl book, but if you think outside the box, this book is more than enough. |
