SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Molecular understanding of cancer and cancer progression is at the forefront of many research programs today, and high-throughput array technologies and other modern molecular techniques produce a wealth of molecular data about the stucture, organization, and function of cells, tissues and organisms. Complex mathematical, statistical and bioinformatics tools are required to extract, handle and process data and this book, edited by two leading researchers with contributions from carefully chosen experts, makes these tools available to a wide range of researchers, in a single coherent book volume.
