Microarrays and more...
November 17
Papers to discuss:
NOTE: For class today please plan on discussing the first 3 papers (Gracey, Roberge and Goetz). I accidentally moved the Gracey paper to the additional reading section. I will bring extra copies of the Gracey paper to class. Apologies for the last minute change!!! - Mac
