Microarray Analysis

By Mark Schena

Microarray Analysis ist das erste Lehrbuch, das sich mit der DNA-Microarray-Technik, einem brandaktuellen Thema der Molekularbiologie, auseinandersetzt.

Es bietet eine umfassende und verst?ndliche geschriebene Einf?hrung in diese wichtige Technik - angefangen bei den biochemischen Grundlagen dieser Technik, bis hin zu methodologischen Fragen und kritischer Bewertung der verschiedenen M?glichkeiten, wie Genomdaten in der Forschung an Hochschulen und in der Biotechnologiebranche genutzt werden k?nnen.

Microarray Analysis vermittelt fundierte Grundkenntnisse zu den Anwendungsm?glichkeiten dieser Technik in verschiedenen Disziplinen.

Besprochen werden auch Bioinformatik und Anwendungen in klinischen Studien.

Mit einem Zusatzkapitel ?ber die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte der DNA-Microarray-Technik.

Recommended Book

"...a very personal, encyclopedic, diffuse compendium of everything known about microarrays...fun to read...full of information that a working biologist...might be quite interested to learn." (ASM News, Vol. 69, No. 7, 2003)

A grand introduction to a daunting field

As an emerging discipline, Microarray analysis is somewhat overwhelming and this book provides an excellent overview and introduction. While it does not give the reader the ability to perform high level data analysis, it certainly provides the criteria which would be necessary to design one. I personally rather enjoyed the casual and light hearted editaorial handling of what could have been a very dry text. I am an engineer, interested in the techniques of Microarray analysis more than the actual execution, but even I found the book extremely valuable. An excellent introductory and intermediate text. Readable by and valuable to almost anyone with a basic background in and understanfding of the life sciences. Extraordinary and a great addition to any library!

Excellent Foundational Text on Microarray Technology

The Microarray Analysis book by Dr. Mark Schena does an excellent job of taking the reader thru the multiple technologies and science disciplines required to understand and use the power of the microarray. It's interdisciplinary and broad approach allows complete understanding of the field without wasting time on aspects of the field which are sill evolving. It's elegantly written. Chapter 13, which talks about the use of microarrays in genetic screening, testing and diagnostics, is one of Schena's greatest accomplishments, in a historic and socio-economic sense. This contribution alone, makes the book a must read to prepare for the microarray revolution in medicine, agriculture, ecology and bio-threat detection. Strongly recommended reading for anyone seriously interested in Microarrays, be they students, professors expanding their horizons or CEO's hoping to mine microarrays. Hats off to Dr. Mark Schena!

An Excellent Text

"...an excellent text...a valuable reference...If you need to know what microarrays are, how they can be used, how they work, and how you can analyze the data...then this book will provide the insight." (Clinical Chemistry, Vol. 49, No. 6, 2003)

"Essential Resource"

"...an essential resource for anyone involved in the life sciences...the first textbook treatment of this innovative technique..." (Word Trade)
