    Special Section of the Journal Bioinformatics on:
    Analysis of Microarray Data

    Shayan Mukherjee (MIT)

    Microarray technology is rapidly accelerating progress
    in many areas of biomedical research. For the first time
    this technology gives a global view of the expression level of
    thousands of genes. This Special Section of Bioinformatics
    will focus on new algorithmic or theoretical techniques for
    analyzing such datasets.

    This Special Section was announced at the NIPS2001 Workshop
    on Machine Learning Techniques for Bioinformatics held at
    the Whistler Resort, British Columbia, Canada in December, 2001.
    Analysis of microarray data frequently utilizes machine learning
    techniques such as cluster analysis, classification, feature
    selection, regression, sample complexity, determination of
    network structures and feature dependencies, for example.
    However, we also welcome papers from researchers interested
    in analytical methods beyond machine learning (e.g. statistics)
    which may include techniques for evaluating the effect of noise,
    imputing missing values, discovering outliers, scoring features,
    etc. We welcome case studies in which the techniques described
    above are applied to new datasets, illustrating practical problems
    and the successful use of these methods.

    The deadline for submissions is *** 30th April 2002 ***.
