Description:
To harness the high-throughput potential of DNA microarray technology, it is crucial that the analysis stages of the process are decoupled from the requirements of operator assistance. This book presents an automatic system for microarray image processing to make this decoupling a reality. The proposed system integrates and extends traditional analytical-based methods and custom-designed novel algorithms. The authors cover many new approaches for processing microarray images, such as novel subgrid detection, feature identification, and graph-cutting techniques. They include details of the algorithmic processes along with an analysis of the processes performance over real-world microarray image data.
Review Quotes:
Overall, this is a well-written book, and it should be useful for researchers and practitioners who work on microarray image analysis.
