"Quite a few recently published books discuss analysis of microarray gene expression data for beginners. Microarray Gene Expression Data Analysis ... is arguably the best of its kind in this regard." Terry Speed, The Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Nature Cell Biology, December 2003 "Overall this is an excellent book, it is well referenced and, to my mind, covers the vast majority of issues an experimenter needs to consider when venturing into the world of microarray data analysis. The book fills a clear gap in the field, providing a rigorous overview of the often confusing .... data analysis issues that most books on microarrays avoid or treat in a cursory way. I would say it is essential reading for any laboratory or researcher active in this rapidly evolving field and is recommended for the mathematician or statisitican who is interested in the field or who has been persuaded by their biologist colleague to help them with their analysis." Steven Russell, University of Cambridge, Genetical Research, February 2003 "Anyone wishing to gain a basic understanding of microarray gene expression studies will come away enriched ... A good and accessible entry point for any biologist who is interested in getting an overview about how to perform microarray gene expression studies." D.C.Jamison, George Mason University, Heredity, June 2004

Author Information

Helen Causton is an experimental biologist who carried out some of the early studies on genome-wide transcriptional regulation in yeast using microarrays. She is Head of the Clinical Sciences Microarray Centre at Imperial College, University of London. John Quackenbush is a principal investigator at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR). His research interests include development of software for microarray data analysis, gene indices and comparative genomics. Alvis Brazma is a computer scientist who has been involved in microarray data analysis since 1998. He heads microarray informatics at the European Bioinformatics Institute and is in charge of establishing a public repository for microarray data.
