As the author explains in the Preface, the book is intended to serve both the statistician who knows very little about DNA microarrays and the biologist who has no expertise in data analysis. The author lays out a study plan for the statistician that excludes 5 of the 17 chapters (4-8). These chapters present the basics of statistical distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, ANOVA, and experimental design. What that leaves for the statistician is the three-chapter primer on microarrays and image processing, plus all of the data analysis tools specific to the microarray situation. … it includes two CDs with trial versions of several specialised software packages. Anyone who uses microarray data should certainly own a copy.\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cem\u003eTechnometrics,\u003c\/em\u003e Vol. 47, No. 1, February 2005\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for the First Edition\u003c\/strong\u003eThe book by Draghici is an excellent choice to be used as a textbook for a graduate-level bioinformatics course.
