Note that heatmap.2() uses hclust() to create the clusters. There is a 
function cutree() that can be used to get the groups from the output of 
hclust().

Also note that heatmap.2() invisibly returns a list that includes both 
the row and column dendrograms (by returning the list invisibly, you 
don't get a bunch of junk printed out to your console. However, if you 
use the assignment function (<-) to assign the output to an object, you 
can then extract whichever dendrogram you want.).

Best,

Jim
