We describe the use of singular value decomposition in transforming gene expression data from genes/arrays space to ‘‘eigengenes’’/‘‘eigenarrays’’ space, where the eigengenes and eigenarrays are unique orthonormal superpositions of the genes and arrays, respectively.
Use eigengene when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
