I don't use siggenes often enough to know if this message means more than it
says, so I can't be sure.  But, what does madhu look like?  How did you make
that matrix?  The error message is implying that there are very few genes
that show any variation.  Perhaps someone who uses siggenes more often can
be more specific.
