After doing a Microarray data analysis, I had a set of target genes of a prokaryotic organism and their corresponding motifs. After doing Blast with all motifs combinations of target genes against the whole TSS site database of the same organism. The blast result shows that some genes are present in my target gene list and some are not. We call it as core group for present genes and non – core group for not present genes. Using a mathematical matrix we have grouped this core and non core group genes. Further, correlation coefficient of these core and non – core group genes have been performed. The Heat map from the correlation investigation shows that Non – core group correlation is lower than core group. What do you interpret from these? Any suggestions?
This is not really a question that one can reliably answer here. It is more about how to interpret data -and that depends an very wide variety of factors.
