Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Solutions Using R and Bioconductor (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)

Bioconductor is a widely used open source and open development software project for the analysis and comprehension of data arising from high-throughput experimentation in genomics and molecular biology. Bioconductor is rooted in the open source statistical computing environment R. This volume's coverage is broad and ranges across most of the key capabilities of the Bioconductor project, including importation and preprocessing of high-throughput data from microarray, proteomic, and flow cytometry platforms: Curation and delivery of biological metadata for use in statistical modeling and interpretationStatistical analysis of high-throughput data, including machine learning and visualizationModeling and visualization of graphs and networksThe developers of the software, who are in many cases leading academic researchers, jointly authored chapters
