Statistical significance for hierarchical clustering in genetic association and microarray expression studies.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: With the increasing amount of data generated in molecular genetics laboratories, it is often difficult to make sense of results because of the vast number of different outcomes or variables studied. Examples include expression levels for large numbers of genes and haplotypes at large numbers of loci. It is then natural to group observations into smaller numbers of classes that allow for an easier...
