Recenzje

"This edited volume is intended to showcase the current research on big data analytics for genomics ... . The edited volume is well-organized, structured, and topics appeared sequentially. Most of the chapters are self-contained. ... this is a good collection of work in one place; I think this volume will attract a broader audience. I enjoyed reading a few chapters of the book and found them interesting and useful." (Technometrics, Vol. 59 (2), April, 2017)
