Multivariate Data Analysis of Proteome Data

We present the background for multivariate data analysis on proteomics data with a hands-on section on how to transfer data between different software packages. The techniques can also be used for other biological and biochemical problems in which structures have to be found in a large amount of data. Digitalization of the 2D gels, analysis using image processing software, transfer of data, multivariate data analysis, interpretation of the results, and finally we return to biology.
