[BioC] hierarchial clustering

[Thomas Girke]

For binary data you could use the hamming/edit distance (implemented in
the e1071 library) and then cluster with hclust. Other distance measures
can be found/constructed in R with ?dist, ?corr, the bioDist library or
search other libraries for more.

# Here is an example for hierarchical clustering and plotting of binary 
data:

library(e1071)
# import your binary data with read.table or read.delim; the following 
# example uses random data
y <- matrix(sample(c(0,1), 100, replace=TRUE), 10, 10, dimnames=list(paste("g", 1:10, sep=""), paste("t", 1:10, sep="")))
disma <- hamming.distance(y)
hr <- hclust(as.dist(disma))
plot(as.dendrogram(hr), edgePar=list(col=3, lwd=4), horiz=T)
