The Hierarchical clustering menu will open (Figure 2).

• Click Finish to run with default settings

A Hierarchical clustering task node will be added to the pipeline (Figure 3).

• Double-click the Hierarchical clustering clustering / heat map task node to launch the heat map

The Dendrogram view will open showing a heat map with the hierarchical clustering results (Figure 4).

Samples are shown on rows and genes on columns. Clustering for samples and genes is shown through the dendrogram trees. More similar samples/genes are separated by fewer branch points of the dendrogram tree.

The heat map can be customized to improve data visualization using the menu on the left- Configuration panel on the left. 

• Expand the Annotations > Data card. 
• Click on the gray button Image Added on the right hand side of

...

• Select 5-AZA Dose from the Attributes drop-down menuRow annot None available
• In the dialog, click on the Gene counts node
• Now set the Row annot to 5-AZA Doze

Samples are now labeled with their Treatment 5-AZA Doze group (Figure 5). 

Samples cluster based on treatment group and the 5μM and 10μM groups are more similar to each other than to the 0μM group. 

We can save the heat map as a publication-quality image. 

• Click Image RemovedClick the Save image icon Image Addedin the top right corner of the plot
• Choose size and resolution using the Save as SVG dialog (Figure 6)
  
  

• Select Save

The heat map will be saved as a .svg file and downloaded in your web browser.
