However, this highly developed process involves multiple steps, from sample selection to data analysis, each susceptible to potentially costly errors. Without sound quality control, experimental microarrays may produce useless or, even worse, misleading results.\u003cbr\u003e Microarray Quality Control provides a comprehensive resource for ensuring quality control in every step of this complex process. From experimental design to data processing, analysis, and interpretation, the emphasis in this text remains on practical advice for each stage of planning and running a microarray study. Chapters cover:\u003cbr\u003e * Quality of biological samples\u003cbr\u003e * Quality of DNA\u003cbr\u003e * Hybridization protocols Scanning\u003cbr\u003e * Data acquisition\u003cbr\u003e * Image analysis\u003cbr\u003e * Data analysis\u003cbr\u003e Written for the broad group of workers-biologists, mathematicians, statisticians, engineers, physicians, and computational scientists-involved in microarray studies, Microarray Quality Control features a straightforward style easily accessed by various disciplines. Useful checklists and tips help ensure the integrity of results, and each chapter contains a thorough review of pertinent literature.\u003cbr\u003e The only complete, systematic treatment of the topic available, Microarray Quality Control offers students and practitioners an invaluable resource for improving experimental quality and efficiency.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Quality of Biological Examples 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Microarray Production: Quality of DNA and Printing  17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Quality of Microarray Hybridization 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Scanners and data Acquisition 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Image Analysis 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Quality Control in data Analysis 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 133\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Biology, life sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Biology, life sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Biology,%20life%20sciences%20%5BPS%5D%22\"\u003ePS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Liss","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52405526003992,"sku":"9780471453444","price":89.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471453444.jpg?v=1784136174","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/microarray-quality-control-hardback-9780471453444","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
