DNA Microarrays and Gene Expression

DNA Microarrays and Gene Expression
From Experiments to Data Analysis and Modeling

  • Pierre Baldi, G. Wesley Hatfield

Massive data acquisition technologies--such as genome sequencing, high-throughput drug screening, and DNA arrays--are in the process of revolutionizing biology and medicine. This concise, user-friendly and interdisciplinary guide to DNA microarray technology is an introduction and a reference for both biologists and computational scientists. The authors describe the underlying technologies and offer an awareness of the "noise" and pitfalls present in the data generated. They also provide an idea of the different data mining techniques and algorithms that are available to interpret data, and the advantages and disadvantages of each in differing situations.

Algorithms on Strings, Trees and Sequences
Computer Science and Computational Biology

  • Dan Gusfield

"...an important summary of the state of the art in pattern matching and an indicator of the importance biological problems have assumed among many researchers. It will hopefully encourage them to question the importance of the problems they endeavor to solve."
