Product Review
I would highly recommend this book to someone who already has a considerable amount of experience with microarrays… .The strengths of the book include a vast number of recent and historic references for each topic; different authors for each chapter, producing different perspectives for many of the ideas, reinforcing ideas, and creating a reference for which individual chapters are meaningful… .I found the book full of relevant and timely issues related to microarray analysis. Many of the chapters clarified topics I had previously misunderstood or generated ideas to further my own research. Most of the chapters were well written and could be read through easily. I would recommend this book to someone who has had some experience in with microarrays and is looking to expand their knowledge about the topic (or to change the direction of their analytic research).

Product Description
With contributions from distinguished experts in the field,
DNA Microarrays and Related Genomics Techniques parallels the steps in conducting and analyzing a microarray experiment from conception to interpretation. This book explores critical aspects of designing a microarray experiment, including power and sample size. It assesses the validity of statistical methods and describes how to ensure the quality and integrity of data. In addition, the text discusses new methods for interpreting microarray data and looks at the various issues associated with analysis. It also addresses the movement to make large high-dimensional datasets public for further analysis, and the associated methods.
Reader ReviewsAn expansive tour of existing statistical methodologies used in microarray data analysis from contributed experts. What it does is deeply explore what people are using nowadays, cites references in each chapter beautifully, and gives the reader a solid footing as to the pros and cons of each technique presented. Each chapter delves deep enough, and by citing references extensively, one can go seek further detail from the source. IMHO, this is probably one of the most professionally done books out there. By that I mean there is no fluff, just high quality content across the board. The intended audience is those having some computational background, particularly in statistics. However, each chapter begins with an introductory paragraph serving as a review so that anyone could pretty much gather what is going to be discussed. A really nice feature of this compilation is that not only does it provide insight into the current methods, it outlines where further developments are needed and how they may help in filling in the gaps. With so many developments having been made in microarray data analysis recently, its nice to know that this book exists to help one gain a solid foundation on how to proceed with some sort of clarity. A five star rating for this one hands down. :)
