I have a RMA normalized genes expression datset with 22810 rows and 9 columns( types of promoters) and a subset of the data is as follows:
ID_REF GSM362180 GSM362181 GSM362188 GSM362189 GSM362192

I want to do a clustering of the above and tried the hierarchical clustering:
d <- dist(as.matrix(deg), method = "euclidean")
where deg is the a matrix of the differentially expressed genes ( 4300 in number ).And I get the following warning:
Warning message:
In dist(as.matrix(deg), method = "euclidean") : NAs introduced by coercion
Is it allright to proceed with the clustering inspite of the warning ?
hc <- hclust(d)
plot(hc, hang = -0.01, cex = 0.7)
I get a dendrogram which is very dense and the labels are not clear: Also I do not know which of the 9 promoters are classified in the tree for the several genes: How would it be possible to label the tree with the promoters and also how to visualize the genes into a clearer dendrogram? Iam not sure how I have to add the dendrogram here else I would .
