Hey all,
I have gene expression data for ~1000 samples. I am interested in a particular gene and I would like to see how these samples cluster based on this gene's expression. I was wondering :
- If its correct to do it this way?
- If yes, how should I perform the clustering? Should I leave the gene in the row and samples in the column and then perform hierarchical clustering ?
I look forward to your response and suggestions,
Best, SG
A single gene? Wouldn't something simple like quantiles do here and then you simply check to which quantile the sample belongs? I mean, with only one gene you cannot really define clusters, do you?
Mixture of distributions could do, if there is any underlying distribution
