Subject: Re: [BioC] how to plot corr between two tissues/dendrograms
To: "Davis, Sean (NIH/NCI) [E]" <sdavis2 at="" mail.nih.gov="">
Hi Sean,
Thanks for your email.
I have attached the figure in PDF..
To clarify, each cluster dendrogram represents the gene coexpression
pattern
within each tissue, and the blue links represent gene-gene
correlations
between
tissues (ie similar idea to Dobrin et al. Genome Biol. 2009;10(5):R55.
Epub 2009
May 22).
The idea is to construct gene coexpression modules for each tissue
independently, then quantify molecular interactions between the two
tissues.
Best regards,
Anthony Bosco
