Bioinformatic and Statistical Analysis of Microbiome Data. Este artículo no está disponible.Bioinformatic and Statistical Analysis of Microbiome Data

This unique book addresses the bioinformatic and statistical modelling and also the analysis of microbiome data using cutting-edge QIIME 2 and R software. It covers core analysis topics in both bioinformatics and statistics, which provides a complete workflow for  microbiome data analysis: from raw sequencing reads to community analysis and statistical hypothesis testing.  It includes real-world data from the authors’ research and from the public domain, and discusses the implementation of QIIME 2 and R for data analysis step-by-step. The data as well as QIIME 2 and R computer programs are publicly available, allowing readers to replicate the model development and data analysis presented in each chapter so that these new methods can be readily applied in their own research.

Bioinformatic and Statistical Analysis of Microbiome Data is an ideal book for advanced graduate students and researchers in the clinical, biomedical, agricultural, and environmental fields, as well as those studying bioinformatics, statistics, and big data analysis.

Dr. Yinglin Xia is a Research Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). He was a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY) and Clinical Statistician in AbbVie (North Chicago, IL) before joining UIC as a Research Associate Professor in 2015. Dr. Xia has published more than 140 statistical methodology and research papers in peer-reviewed journals.
