Microarrays for an Integrative Genomics

This is a well written book that gives an overview of the technology of microarrays and their use as investigative tools in functional genomics experiments. I found the technical and analytical descriptions very easy to follow. This is still the only book around that can bring any investigator with little knowledge of molecular biology, data analysis, and/or microarrays up to speed in the field. It is also a good text book for a graduate level course on microarray data analysis.

This is the book we have all been waiting for. The authors do an amazing job of describing, in understandable terms, how to perform meaningful microarray experiments. I highly recommend this seminal work.

This book is an excellent educational source for the rapidly exploding field of bioinformatics, particularly in the area of functional genomics- i.e. teasing out the functions of the thousands of genes in the genome. Described in clear detail are many approaches to the complex analysis of RNA expression array data, including the appropriate situations for use and advantages and pitfalls inherent in each approach. The reader will learn biological theory integrated with mathematical concepts. The authors also clearly have a lucid understanding of the technical strengths and weaknesses of microarray technology.

The data miners have arrived and are pitching camp around the genomic wellsprings of data opened up by DNA microarrays. To extract the good stuff, however, experiments must be designed and analyzed with care.This book gathers the pragmatic, candid, useful advice from the pioneers that you'll want to have if you want to join them.

... but they didn't tell us that nobody knew what it meant. Reading this book is a good first step toward understanding the next 30 years of genetics research.
