The Book "Analysis of Expression Data (Microarray and RNA Sequencing): From Theory to Practice" by Masoud Tohidfar, Faculty Member of Shahid Beheshti University's School of Biological Sciences and Technologies, Has Been Published.
This book, published for the first time in 2024, is 128 pages long, in a standard royal format, and released by Shahid Beheshti University Press at the price of 1,000,000 Rials.
Biotechnology is a rapidly growing field in recent years, and one of its important branches, omics, has enabled the development of diagnostic and therapeutic methods and the enhancement of food performance. By utilizing omics data, especially the transcriptome, and employing bioinformatics and systems biology, it is possible to identify the causes of many diseases. These data can also be used to enhance food performance, develop new pharmaceutical compounds, increase metabolites, and more.
The book Analysis of Expression Data (Microarray and RNA Sequencing): From Theory to Practice focuses on the analysis of transcriptome data, including microarray and RNA sequencing. In five chapters, it first delves into the theory of expression data, followed by methods for analyzing microarray data using the GEO2R and R programs and interpreting the results. The book further discusses the analysis of RNA-Seq data and its significance in molecular biology. Lastly, it examines biological networks and their types, network components, protein network visualization, an introduction to the String software, ontology determination, biosynthetic pathway analysis, gene network visualization, methods for identifying and predicting protein-protein interactions, and more. This book is useful and practical for researchers and graduate students in various fields of biology and medicine.
Students and enthusiasts can purchase the book by visiting the sales office of the Shahid Beheshti University Scientific Works Publishing Center located on the ground floor of the Information Technology (IT) Building. Online orders are also available through the center's website. Additionally, the electronic version of the book can be purchased on the Fidibo and Taghche.
