But, it doesn't have any mention at all of BioPython, it seems, not even as a footnote.
??? What?
I use BioPython in my daily programming at university and while I do hear that BioPerl is larger, BioPython can do a lot of stuff from the basics (handling sequences, translating, converting formats) to very sophisticated stuff (handling protein structures and such). I haven't had to use BioPerl because BioPthon couldn't handle something yet.
A book that doesn't even mention that you can use BioPython doesn't sound very useful to me.
