In the recent years, several statistical papers have been published that show that these problems are usually caused by simple mistakes, and are unfortunately very widespread. The goal of this talk is twofold: firstly, to present some of these results, as well as personal experiences, and discuss ways to solve these issues; and then, to discuss with the audience on their own experience. -- Frédéric Schütz, PhD Frederic.Schutz@isb-sib.ch Bioinformatics Core Facility (Delorenzi group) Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics http://www.isb-sib.ch/ University of Lausanne http://www.unil.ch/ Batiment Genopode Quartier Sorge Phone: +41 21 692 40 94 CH-1015 Lausanne Fax: +41 21 692 40 65
