Abstract

Bioconductor software has become a standard tool for the analysis and comprehension of data from high-throughput genomics experiments. Its application spans a broad field of technologies used in contemporary molecular biology. In this volume, the authors present a collection of cases to apply Bioconductor tools in the analysis of microarray gene expression data. Topics covered include * import and preprocessing of data from various sources * statistical modeling of differential gene expression * biological metadata * application of graphs and graph rendering * machine learning for clustering and classification problems * gene set enrichment analysis Each chapter of this book describes an analysis of real data using hands-on example driven approaches. Short exercises help in the learning process and invitemore advanced considerations of key topics. The book is a dynamic document. All the code shown can be executed on a local computer, and readers are able to reproduce every computation, figure, and table.
