The Analysis of Gene Expression Data: An Overview of Methods and Software

This chapter is a rough map of the book. It provides a concise overview of data-analytic tasks associated with microarray studies, pointers to chapters that can help perform these tasks, and connections with selected data-analytic tools not covered in any of the chapters. We wish to give a general orientation before moving to the detailed discussion provided by individual chapters. A comprehensive review of microarray data analysis methods is beyond the scope of this introduction.
