I am very pleased to announce that the SIGKDD Explorations Special Issue on Microarray Data Mining (Dec 2003), guest editors Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro and Pablo Tamayo, is available on-line at
www.acm.org/sigkdd/explorations/issue5-2.htm
and www.acm.org/sigkdd/explorations/ .

This set of papers is focusing on gene selection and classification. A second group of papers with equally high-quality papers, focusing on clustering and biological discovery, will be on-line in February.

The microarray papers in this issue include:

• Microarray Data Mining: Facing the Challenges
