DREAM-High: Finding Patterns with Heatmaps
Big idea: data can hide patterns
Large biological datasets are often too big to understand by reading numbers in a table.
In DREAM-High, we will eventually use heatmaps to look for patterns in breast cancer gene expression data from patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas. A heatmap can help us ask questions such as:
- Which samples look similar to each other?
- Which genes behave similarly across patients?
- Can visual patterns help us discover tumor subtypes?
Today we will learn the same basic idea using a small practice dataset that comes with R.
Main idea: A heatmap turns numbers into colors so that hidden structure becomes easier to see.
