A common clustering method in the analysis of gene expression data has been hierarchical clustering. Usually the analysis involves selection of clusters by cutting the tree at a suitable level and/or analysis of a sorted gene list that is obtained with the tree. Cutting of the hierarchical tree requires the selection of a suitable level and it results in the loss of information on the other level. Sorted gene lists depend on the sorting method of the joined clusters. Author proposes that the clusters should be selected using the gene classifications.
