hi, there: i have 2 questions associated with heatmap in heatmap.2{gplot}, there is a bar called "raw z-score" showing the coloring legend for each pixel. Where can I find that z-score's formulae? question 2, for example, I have 5 groups and I want to label each group with a color name from "#FF0000" to "#0000FF" evenly. so basically i need a vector like this: c("#FF0000", ?, ?, ?, "#0000FF") the number of groups can be 10 or whatever. thanks. -- Weiwei Shi, Ph.D Research Scientist GeneGO, Inc.

If you don't have a copy of the Bioconductor book, it may be a good idea to pick one up. It is quite helpful for getting started using bioconductor and gene expression data. Hope this helps. Sean

oh, i mean how it defines the group? i just want to confirm if it is based on the whole matrix?

The process is typically done within each probe, not across the entire matrix, but it depends a bit on the parameters given, at least for heatmap and heatmap.2. Reading the help pages for heatmap and heatmap.2 will be helpful here. I generally recommend that before someone uses a new function in R or bioconductor, that he read the help page, although I have been guilty of not doing that myself at points. Sean
