Heat map in R
Make sure your data is a matrix. There are many examples of expression heatmaps
available on the bioconductor list. After checking out these examples, I would
post to the bioconductor list if you are still having problems. Also
consider a small
example to get you a working heatpmap. You have to install two
bioconductor packages for this by using:
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(c("ALL","genefilter"))
This will also install other bioconductor packages that are needed.
#Then try:
library(ALL)
library(genefilter)
data(ALL)
# just creating create data
bcell <- grep("^B", as.character(ALL$BT))
types <- c("NEG", "BCR/ABL")
mysub <- which(as.character(ALL$mol.biol) %in% types)
bc <- ALL[, intersect(bcell, mysub)]
bc$BT <- factor(bc$BT)
bc$mol.biol <- factor(bc$mol.biol)
filter_bc <- nsFilter(bc,var.cutoff=0.9)
myfilt <- filter_bc$eset
e <- exprs(myfilt)
# end of data creation
dim(e)
#[1] 880 79
class(e)
# [1] "matrix"
heatmap(e)

Hello, I am trying to make a heatmap in R and am having some trouble. I am very new to the world of R, but have been told that what I am trying to do should be possible. ?I want to make a heat map that looks like ?a gene expression heatmap (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_map). I have 43 samples and 900 genes (yes I know this will be a huge map). I also have copy numbers associated with each gene/sample and need these to be represented as the colour intensities on the heat map. ?There are multiple genes per sample with different copy numbers. I think my trouble may be how I am setting up my data frame. My data frame was created in excel as a tab deliminated text file: Gene ? Copy Number ? Sample ID A ? ? ? 1935 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?01 B ? ? ? 2057 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?01 C ? ? ? 2184 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?02 D ? ? ? 1498 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?03 E ? ? ? 2294 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?03 F ? ? ? 2485 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?03 G ? ? ? 1560 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?04 H ? ? ? 3759 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?04 I ? ? ? 2792 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?05 J ? ? ? 7081 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?05 K ? ? ? 1922 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?06 . ? ? ? ?. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?. . ? ? ? ?. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?. . ? ? ? ?. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?. ZZZ ? ? 1354 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?43 My code in R is something like this: data<-read.table("/Users/jsmt/desktop/test.txt",header=T) data_matrix<-data.matrix(data) data_heatmap <- heatmap(data_matrix, Rowv=NA, Colv=NA, col = cm.colors(256), scale="column", margins=c(5,10)) I end up getting a heat map split into 3 columns: sample, depth, gene and the colours are just in big blocks that don't mean anything. Can anyone help me with my dataframe or my R code? ?Again, I am fairly new to R, so if you can help, please give me very detailed help :) Thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Heat-map-in-R-tp3176478p3176478.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
