چکیده

Cluster analysis plays an important role in the analysis of gene expression data since the early beginning of microarray studies and is routinely used to find groups of genes with common expression pattern. In order to make cluster analysis helpful for users, visualization of cluster solutions is of utmost importance. Here, we present the new R package gcExplorer for the interactive exploration of gene clusters. gcExplorer facilitates the interpretation of cluster results and allows to investigate extensive information about clusters.

Using Neighborhood Graphs for the Investigation of E. Coli Gene Clusters

Clustering is commonly used in the analysis of gene expression data to find groups of co–expressed genes. The definition of gene clusters is not very clear as genetic interactions are extremely complex. For this reason the relationship between clusters is very important as co–expressed genes can end up in different clusters. The neighborhood graph is a useful tool to visualize the cluster struc...

IMG-ABC: new features for bacterial secondary metabolism analysis and targeted biosynthetic gene cluster discovery in thousands of microbial genomes

Secondary metabolites produced by microbes have diverse biological functions, which makes them a great potential source of biotechnologically relevant compounds with antimicrobial, anti-cancer and other activities. The proteins needed to synthesize these natural products are often encoded by clusters of co-located genes called biosynthetic gene clusters (BCs). In order to advance the exploratio...

A clustering approach for mineral potential mapping: A deposit-scale porphyry copper exploration targeting

This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...

Neighborgram Clustering Interactive Exploration of Cluster Neighborhoods

We describe an interactive way to generate a set of clusters for a given data set. The clustering is done by constructing local histograms, which can then be used to visualize, select, and fine-tune potential cluster candidates. The accompanying algorithm can also generate clusters automatically, allowing for an automatic or semi-automatic clustering process where the user only occasionally int...
