It is a real problem that bioinformatics requires aptitude in both biology and computing, yet the textbook market has not fully risen to meet this challenge for the undergraduates. I see this text as helping to bridge this gap. I would consider adopting this text because it is taking the biology-computation balance seriously and using what has become the dominant scripting language for biologists, Python.
