IndexGene: Index Gene
In laderast/Consense: Consense: a package for evaluating multiple clusterings

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Find all the genes that cluster with an index gene of interest.

1	IndexGene(clusterresults, indexgene)

`clusterresults`	A set of clustering results produced by the use of `autoCompareClustering` or `CompareClustering`.
`indexgene`	Gene Identifier for gene of interest. Note that this identifier must exist as a gene name in the result set. If not, the function will return an error.

This function works on a result set as output by autoCompareClustering or CompareClustering. Index genes can be any gene that is of interest to the user. This function allows users to cut across methods and see where they agree, leveraging the power of several clustering methods at once. This can be of interest when attempting to infer function of an unknown gene based on its membership of a cluster.

rankedmatrix

A matrix of genes sorted by frequency (i.e., the number of clustering methods in which that gene clustered with the index gene). Rows correspond to the genes. The first column gives the frequency, the next columns show the "votes" of each method (i.e., whether the gene clustered with the index gene in that method or not).
