Summary:
clustComp is an open source Bioconductor package that implements different techniques for the comparison of two gene expression clustering results. These include flat versus flat and hierarchical versus flat comparisons. The visualization of the similarities is provided by means of a bipartite graph, whose layout is heuristically optimized. Its flexibility allows a suitable visualization for both small and large datasets.
Availability And Implementation:
The package is available at http://bioconductor.org/packages/clustComp/ and contains a 'vignette' outlying the typical use of the algorithms.

Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
