Abstract:

We present a clustering method that detects biologically relevant features using omics data (e.g. microbial genes and gene expressions) where the similarity of features can be different resolutions of similarity. The resolution of similarity score takes into account not only similarity between measurements and also the entire relationship between all features (using hierarchical structure) of data and the number of features which group together. The proposed multi-resolution clustering is well suitable for dimension reduction and finding biological meaningful subsets of samples or features using omics data. This method captures biological signals in the presence of noise introduced by measuring technologies and as a powerful technique to discretizing omics data. We cluster microbial strains form metagenomics data and cell lines from gene expression as applications for our proposed approach.
