Book synopsis

The advent of efficient genome sequencing tools and§high-throughput experimental biotechnology has lead§to an enormous progress in life sciences. Among the§most important innovations is the microarray§technology, which allowed whole genome measurements§at transcriptional level. The characteristics of this§data include a fair amount of noise and an atypical§dimensionality (which makes difficult the use of§classic statistics tools experimental samples in§the order of dozens and measured parameters in§thousands or tens of thousands). Therefore, this book§presents a series of computational methods and§algorithms, capable of extracting valuable biological§knowledge from this type of data. Applications of§microarrays and subsequent gene expression analysis§range from the assignment of functional categories§for genes of unknown biological function, to precise§and early diagnosis of different tumor malignancies.§Besides these, a central goal of computational§analysis of gene expression data is the extraction of§regulatory knowledge at genetic level that may be§used to provide a broader understanding on the§functioning of complex cellular systems.
