[BioC] heatmap.2

[Jenny Drnevich]

Hi,

I prefer not to standardize around 0 or use the 
scale="row" option of heatmap2, because it's not 
always clear what the resulting values mean. What 
I've done is to add a row to the data to force the center to be on zero:

 > class(mean.sig.05)
[1] "matrix"

 > dim(mean.sig.05)
[1] 101  15

 > max(mean.sig.05)
[1] 3.24023

 > min(mean.sig.05)
[1] -3.120530

 > mean.sig.05 <- rbind(mean.sig.05,fake=c(3.24,rep(0,13),-3.24))

 > rownames(mean.sig.05) <- NULL

 >hmcol2 <- colorRampPalette(c("red","white","blue"))(256)

 > heatmap_2(mean.sig.05,col=hmcol2,legend=1,do.dendro=c(T,T),scale="none")

Of course, it's not ideal to have a faked row of 
data in the plot, but it doesn't really show if you have >50 genes.

Cheers,
Jenny
