might as well be an affy ad - By: A. Burman, 27 Sep 2007
granted, there is some useful infoin this book, & if you can scratch through all of the affymetrix centric expositions you might be able to find it. There is much more to high throuput bioinformatics analysis than the proprietary apporaches of this large company. Gentleman's book does precious little even to acknowledge these. If you are stuckin the only interestedin the myopic, & problematic affy world then I suppose you will like this book. If you are interestedin a briader range of statistical analysis I would recomend looking elsewhere.

If you do microarrays-- buy this. - By: Mr. S. Henderson, 22 Jun 2006
Honestly-- all the other Bioinformatics books of the past few years are rubbish. This is the only one that I've ever found of any practical use. It is vital if you are working with microarrays as the best methods arein Bioconductor & the code here is very useful.
Best bought together with
Modern Applied Statistics with S (Statistics & Computing S.) ~ W.N. Venables, B.D. Ripley -- unles you know R/S very well.
