fix bad characters new protein functions intestines --> filter high values, corr FPKM; right now we are getting a mixture of fed and non-fed when clustering. DEseq has already told us that clustering goes from fed vs non-fed
Ultimate goal is a term paper with intro, methods, and description on the candidate genes we found and why we decided on those.
Good genes to track down- transcription factors, transporters, anything in the signaling cascade.
FPKM- adjusted expression levels for length of gene
Today. Keep on looking for genes and smaller clusters. Is a smaller cluster necessarily advantageous? Don't we want a gene that turns on a lot of things?
Translation initiation protein:
I'm not having a ton of success, getting small clusters when prioritizing the type of gene first,
