  • Preprocessing before k-means clustering of expression data

    Hey guys,

    I want to perform k-means clustering of expression data (already normalized). I have two conditions (CO and HS) and three developmental stages (S1,S2,S3). So in total six samples (S1-CO,S1-HS,S2-CO,S2-HS,S3-CO and S3-HS). As I am interested in the response to HS and identifying genes with a similar HS response pattern I calculated the ratio between HS and CO (HS/CO) for each stage.

    Gene____S1(HS/CO)____S2(HS/CO)____S3(HS/CO)
    geneX_______10____________5____________15
    geneY_______20___________10____________5
    geneZ_______30___________10____________10
    ...


    I want to perform k-means clustering but I'm not sure how to perform the preprocessing. What I have read in different publications is that people often perform at first log2-transformation and sometimes also mean-centering as well as dividing by the standard deviation.

    1) Is the mean-centering based on the row or column mean?
    2) Similar, do I divide by row or column standard deviation?
    3) Is log2-transformation sufficient or do I need the mean-centering and/or dividision by SD?

    Thanks in advance

    Is nobody having an idea about this? :/

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
