Hi, Is there an easy way to obtain the matrix after the heatmap.2() function performs clustering. I'm plotting a matrix of fold change values with 359 genes. The names of the genes are not visible on the heatmap since there are so many. I want to view this matrix after the clustering is performed since the order of the genes from the input matrix is rearranged. Any input will be appreciated.

Try: ## Some input sample matrix y <- matrix(rnorm(50), 10, 5, dimnames=list(paste("g", 1:10, sep=""), paste("t", 1:5, sep=""))) ## Run heatmap.2 on this matrix library(gplots) test <- heatmap.2(y) y[rev(test$rowInd), test$colInd] Now try to understand why y[rev(test$rowInd), test$colInd] does the trick of returning the row names/labels in the proper order, which is just some basic R syntax of accessing a list-like object and then using an index for sorting. Another way of doing this is to separate the clustering with hclust from the heatmap plotting, where you want to learn how to access the hclust object as you need. For instance: ## Row clustering (adjust here distance/linkage methods to what you need!) hr <- hclust(as.dist(1-cor(t(y), method="pearson")), method="complete") ## Column clustering (adjust here distance/linkage methods to what you need!) hc <- hclust(as.dist(1-cor(y, method="spearman")), method="complete") ## Plot heatmap heatmap.2(y, Rowv=as.dendrogram(hr), Colv=as.dendrogram(hc), scale="row", density.info="none", trace="none") ## Return matrix with row/column sorting as in heatmap y[rev(hr$labels[hr$order]), hc$labels[hc$order]] Thomas On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 02:32:35PM +0000, Guest [guest] wrote: > > Hi, > > Is there an easy way to obtain the matrix after the heatmap.2() function performs clustering.

From ?heatmap.2: Value: Invisibly, a list with components rowInd: row index permutation vector as returned by order.dendrogram . colInd: column index permutation vector. So if you assign the output of heatmap.2 you can get what you want.
