[R] R for bioinformatics

[Liaw, Andy]

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.
