Thanks to technology advances, the nucleotide sequences that make up DNA, in addition to the amino acid sequences that make up proteins, are collected with robotic automation and stored by the millions in vast, expanding databases throughout...
Perl has seen widespread use in bioinformatics because of its ease of use, extensiblity, and its ability to scale to complex tasks. Being a scripting language, new programmers do not have to wrestle with the complexity of a compiled language and can quickly write scripts to achieve the small - medium sized tasks that they need to accomplish quickly. Perl was built to provide easy string manipulation and has simple I/O mechanisms making it ideal for formatting, searching,...
