Hello everybody, I am using the hclust() function in R. I have a 2000*12 matrix of expression data. I have created a distance matrix with dist() using Euclidean method. Then in hclust I have used complete linkage method. Now when I am trying to plot the dendogram with pclust method I cannot see the details of the tree. The gene names and the lower parts of the dendogram are not visible Is there any method by which I can see only selected parts of the dendogram.....or Zoom in or out.... I have used the follwing command for pclust: plclust(H2000, unit = FALSE, level = FALSE, hmin = 0, + square = TRUE, labels =names2000 , plot. = TRUE, + axes = TRUE, frame.plot = FALSE, ann = TRUE, + main = "", sub = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = "Height") I am attaching a snapshot of the dendogram that I am getting. Please help ASAP. Thanks in advance, Madhurima.

Hi dendrograms were designed for and intially applied to significantly smaller problems then 2,000 objects. I cannot imaging how to dispaaly a tree with that many terminal nodes in such a way to be able to read the labels. You might try using 'cutree' into a dozen or so subtrees and plot each subtree individually. You might also try using kmeans to partition the data with that large a sample.

Dear, For a convenient tree browssing, you can use an external software: freeview or treeview (http://magix.fri.uni-lj.si/freeview). Package ctc is usefull to export R hclust object to freeview/treeview file format. Regards, Antoine Lucas.

There is the possibilit? to analyze with R dates from SAGE (serial analysis gene expression)? http://sciencepark.mdanderson.org/ggeg/SAGE_technique.htm Dr Alberto Goldoni Medical Genetics Unit S.
