Description
A great introductory book that details reliable approaches to problems met instandard microarray data analyses. It provides examples of establishedapproaches such as cluster analysis, function prediction, and principle component analysis. Discover real examples to illustrate the key concepts of data analysis. Written for those without any advanced background in math, statistics, or computer sciences, this book is essential for anyone interested in harnessing the immense potential of microarrays in biology and medicine.

Person
Steen Knudsen is Associate Professor and Deputy Director of the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at the Technical University of Denmark. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen in 1990 and joined the pioneers of bioinformatics with a publication in Nature that same year. His postdoctoral training in bioinformatics at Harvard University concerned computational gene finding in the human genome, and his current research is in the area of bioinformatics and genomics. He has been working with methods for analysis of DNA microarray data since 1998.
