DNA microarrays allow us to obtain a global view of the cell, where it is possible to measure the simultaneous expression of tens of thousands of genes. In particular, this type of data works by collecting information from tissue and cell samples regarding gene expression differences that could be useful for diagnosing disease or for distinguishing a specific tumor type.</span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" class=""> </p><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Microarray data has soon become very popular among bioinformatics researchers. In a microarray experiment, there are usually very few samples (often fewer than 100 samples), but the number of features in the raw data ranges up to 60000. This high dimensionality makes the analysis of microarray data very appealing for machine learning and statistical researchers. Moreover, the use of High Performance Computing has soon become very popular in the field. </span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" class=""> </p><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">The book is intended for researchers and graduate students in Bioinformatics, with basic knowledge in Biology and Computer Science. </span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" class=""> </p><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Topic coverage</span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" class=""> </p><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Chapters must be original work not published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
