Edited by Carsten Wiuf and Claus L. Andersen. Aimed at graduates and researchers, this book discusses novel advances in informatics and statistics in molecular cancer research. A main theme is the extensive use of array technologies in modern cancer research - gene expression and exon arrays, SNP and copy number arrays, and methylation arrays - to derive quantitative and qualitative statements about cancer, its progresion and aetiology , and to understand how these technologies on the one hand allow us to learn about cancer tissue as a complex system and on the other hand to allow us to pinpoint key genes and events as crucial for the development of the disease. Glazed boards. xii and 196 pages including index. ISBN: 9780199532872. Spine faded from red to pink. Rear board lightly scuffed. Name in ink to front endpaper. Else contents clean.
