Re: [R] R for bioinformatics
Just to complete this thread: A colleague sent me the following
regarding the book.
Following up on this post from a few months back...
The author has recently posted a public-domain version of this
book on CRAN under Documentation - Contributed -
Statistics Using R with Biological Examples by Kim Seefeld and Ernst
Linder (PDF).
Unfortunately not all the mirror sites have it yet.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could tell me more about
this book, (if it's
a good or bad one).
I can't find it, as it seems that O'Reilly doesn't
publish any more.
I've never seen a copy so I can't comment about its quality (has
anyone seen a copy?).
You might want to take a look at _Bioinformatics and
Computational
Biology Solutions Using R and Bioconductor_.
http://www.bioconductor.org/pub/docs/mogr/
I'll stand (or sit) to be corrected on this as I cannot
find the source,
but I have a recollection from seeing something quite
some time ago that
the book may have never been published.
It's been a while since the status was something along the
lines that
the authors may or may not complete it. Subject matter
moving faster
than pen, I suspect
Peter, that wording does seem familiar, just cannot recall
where I saw
it. Perhaps on the O'Reilly web site, where it is no longer listed.
For confirmation, I called O'Reilly's customer service in
Cambridge, MA.
They confirm that the book was indeed cancelled and never published.
No reasons were given.
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 :-)
