Experimental Design and Data Analysis for Biologists Gerry P. Quinn, Michael J. Keough
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Establishing species distribution and population trends are basic requirements in conservation biology, yet acquiring this fundamental information is often difficult. The design of the experiment and the subsequent data analyses should be completely objective and unbiased. The inference of the number of clusters in a dataset, a fundamental problem in Statistics, Data Analysis and Classification, is usually addressed via internal validation measures. The identification of the coxsackie adenovirus receptor (CAR) and the description of its gene structure and the sequences that regulate its expression has furthered the understanding of CARs role in cellular biology, the adenoviral infection process and thus on enhancing the potential for therapeutic success in the .. Experimental design and data analysis Sample Classification: In static experiments where samples are treated with different conditions (such as diets), genes that can classify the treatments may be important in the underlying biology and therefore interesting candidates for further studies. Models” and trying to understand how multi-level techniques relate to traditional statistical methods for factorial datasets (with reference to Quinn and Keough (2002), “Experimental Design and Data Analysis for Biologists”). AB Participated with the experimental design, carried out the HDAC activity, western blot and RT-PCR and PCR assays, data analysis and manuscript preparation. Indirect survey methods that rely on fecal .. Relationships between response and explanatory variables were investigated using a survival model for interval-censored data [40], with the 48 sites treated as random effect (more often referred to as a frailty effect in survival analysis, [41, 42]). This review focuses on the analysis of transcriptional data derived from microarrays and how it can complement other experimental techniques to study energy homeostasis. Effect size, confidence interval and statistical significance: a practical guide for biologists. The course introduces students to experimental design, laboratory methods, data analysis and empirical approaches to developmental biology, physiology, ecology and evolution.
