Marina Vannucci Edited by Kim-Anh DoCambridge University Press, 4/30/2012EAN 9781107636989, ISBN10: 1107636981Paperback, 456 pages, 22.1 x 14.1 x 2.5 cmLanguage: EnglishThe interdisciplinary nature of bioinformatics presents a research challenge in integrating concepts, methods, software and multiplatform data. Although there have been rapid developments in new technology and an inundation of statistical methods for addressing other types of high-throughput data, such as proteomic profiles that arise from mass spectrometry experiments. This book discusses the development and application of Bayesian methods in the analysis of high-throughput bioinformatics data that arise from medical, in particular, cancer research, as well as molecular and structural biology. The Bayesian approach has the advantage that evidence can be easily and flexibly incorporated into statistical methods. A basic overview of the biological and technical principles behind multi-platform high-throughput experimentation is followed by expert reviews of Bayesian methodology, tools and software for single group inference, group comparisons, classification and clustering, motif discovery and regulatory networks, and Bayesian networks and gene interactions.1.

Sample size choice for microarray experiments Peter Müller, Christian Robert and Judith Rousseau.'A text that has a systematic account of Bayesian analysis in computational biology has been needed for a long time. This book is a timely publication entirely devoted to cutting-edge Bayesian methods in genomics and proteomics research and many of its contributors are leading authorities in the field. It is thus an indispensable reference for researchers who are interested in applying Bayesian techniques in their own biological research.'
