Thanks for those replies. I did also contacted the O'reilly offices in UK, and they told me the same thing. The book was never published. I just wanted to compare the "R for bioinformatics" with the "Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Solutions Using R and Bioconductor", and see which one suit me more - But guess I don't have the choice now :-) Ben -- Benoit Ballester Ensembl Team ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
