  • Abstract
    Measurement of gene expression using DNA micro arrays have revolutionized biological and medical research. This paper presents a divisive clustering algorithm that produces a tree of genes called GERC tree along with the generated clusters. Unlike a dendrogram, a GERC tree is a general tree and it is an ample resource for biological information about the genes in a data set. The leaves of the tree represent the desired clusters. The clustering method was tested with several real-life data sets and the proposed method has been found satisfactory.
