摘要: Microarrays have become a widely used technology in molecular biology research. One of their main uses is to measure gene expression. Compared older expression measuring assays such as Northern blotting, analyzing data from microarrays inherently more complex due the massive amounts they produce. The analysis microarray requires biologists collaborate with bioinformaticians or learn basics statistics and programming. Many software tools for are available. Currently one most popular freely available Bioconductor. This chapter Bioconductor preprocess data, detect differentially expressed genes, annotate lists interest.
