Hi,
I have expression values (calculated by RSEM, RNAseq data) for over 30 genes, from 5 samples. Based on these values, I would like to find which two samples display the most 'similar' expression profile. These genes are all from a common pathway for virus defence in plants (RNAi).
Is PCA suited for this? I realize this is a very small sample set.
Any advice, comments, recommendations for other tests, greatly appreciated!
