Molecular data analysis using R published by the US publisher, Wiley Blackwell. This book was written with two kinds of people targeted as audience. Researchers working in molecular biology laboratories who intend to analyze their experimental data with a modern statistical environment, and bioinformaticians wishing to understand the experimental methods behind the data they are working with. 

This book addresses the difficulties experienced by wet lab researchers with the statistical analysis of molecular biology related data.  The authors explain how to use R and Bioconductor for the analysis of experimental data in the field of molecular biology.  The content is based upon two university courses for bioinformatics and experimental biology students (Biological Data Analysis with R and High-throughput Data Analysis with R). The material is divided into chapters based upon the experimental methods used in the laboratories.  

Key features include:
• Broad appeal--the authors target their material to researchers in several levels, ensuring that the basics are always covered.
• First book to explain how to use R and Bioconductor for the analysis of several types of experimental data in the field of molecular biology.
• Focuses on R and Bioconductor, which are widely used for data analysis. One great benefit of R and Bioconductor is that there is a vast user community and very active discussion in place, in addition to the practice of sharing codes. Further, R is the platform for implementing new analysis approaches, therefore novel methods are available early for R users.

Big data for the molecular biology lab: new educational resource from Finland

"In this work we used research data produced from molecular biology experiments conducted at the University of Tampere," says the author Chaba Ortutay. He continues: The content of the book uses our experiences with constant interactions with students at our courses delivered at different universities in Finland, Ireland, Hungary; and on our online platform, worldwide. The feedback from these students were indispensable for writing and finalizing our book."
