Reviews From AMAZON.COM
an easy read -- a cookbook
True to its stated purpose: best used as a roadmap by mathematically unsophisticated newcomers to analysis of microarray data. Somewhat superficial, and it becomes more so in later chapters. Does not explore harder issues in detail. Does not touch upon future directions of the technology. Its advocacy of the Unix awk program is anachronistic; tellingly, the reference cited for awk is from 1988. Not a groundbreaking book, just solid practical advice.
Useful Book
