T - the gene expression level in the testing sample R - the gene expression level in the reference sample

Expression Data Matrix Black indicates a log ratio of zero, i.e. T=~R Green indicates a negative log ratio, i.e. T<R Grey indicates missing data Red indicates a positive log ratio, i.e. T>R

How to analyze gene expression data

Unsupervised Clustering - Hierarchical Clustering

Hierarchical Clustering genes with similar expression patterns are grouped together and are connected by a series of branches (dendrogram). 2 1 3 4 5 6 1 6 3 5 2 4 Leaves (shapes in our case) represent genes and the length of the paths between leaves represents the distances between genes.

How to determine the similarity between two genes? (for clustering) Patrik D'haeseleer, How does gene expression clustering work?, Nature Biotechnology 23, 1499 - 1501 (2005) , http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v23/n12/full/nbt1205-1499.html

Hierarchical clustering finds an entire hierarchy of clusters. If we want a certain number of clusters we need to cut the tree at a level indicates that number (in this case - four).

Hierarchical clustering result Five clusters

Unsupervised Clustering – K-means clustering An algorithm to classify the data into K number of groups. K=4

How does it work? 1 2 3 4 The centroid of each of the k clusters becomes the new means. k initial "means" (in this casek=3) are randomly selected from the data set (shown in color). k clusters are created by associating every observation with the nearest mean Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until convergence has been reached. The algorithm divides iteratively the genes into K groups and calculates the center of each group. The results are the optimal groups (center distances) for K clusters.

How should we determine K? Trial and error Take K as square root of gene number

Tools for clustering - EPclust http://www.bioinf.ebc.ee/EP/EP/EPCLUST/

Gene Ontology (GO) http://www.geneontology.org/ The Gene Ontology project provides an ontology of defined terms representing gene product properties. The ontology covers three domains:

Gene Ontology (GO) Cellular Component (CC) - the parts of a cell or its extracellular environment. Molecular Function (MF) - the elemental activities of a gene product at the molecular level, such as binding or catalysis. Biological Process (BP) - operations or sets of molecular events with a defined beginning and end, pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms.
