From a bioinformatics point of view, the book illustrates: how data analysis techniques can facilitate more comprehensive, user-friendly data visualisation tasks; how data visualisation methods may make data analysis a more meaningful and biologically relevant process; and how to approach the overabundance of data in genomic studies, in which spurious associations often occur, with the proper statistical tools. The book describes how this synergy may support integrative approaches to functional genomics.

The book will be of interest to all bioinformaticians, from students to researchers, as well as to many scientists working in genomics, proteomics, systems biology and related areas.
