R：树状图的颜色分支，同时保留颜色图例

Question

Objective: Create a dendrogram with branches colored by a factor variable with the resultant plot containing a legend to translate the branch colors to each factor variable value.

I have some data with factor variables followed by the numeric data that I am creating a dendrogram with:

The data dimensions are: 161 x 60,739. With this data I have achieved a dendrogram with colored branches but no legend, and a dendrogram with colored labels (not branches) with a legend. I would like to combine the two.

Create dendrogram with colored branches but no legend:

# Create the dendrogram for visualization
dend_expr<- cleaned_mayo[,15:60739] %>% # Isolate expression data
                  scale %>% # Normalize
                  dist  %>% # Compute distance measure
                  hclust %>% # Cluster hierarchically
                  as.dendrogram()

# Arrange labels in order with tree
tree_labels<- cleaned_mayo[order.dendrogram(dend_expr),]

# Color branches by diagnosis
dend_expr<- assign_values_to_leaves_edgePar(dend_expr, value= tree_labels$Diagnosis, edgePar= "col") %>%
            as.ggdend()

# Plot dendrogram
ggplot(dend_expr, horiz= T, theme= NULL, labels= F) +
  ggtitle("Mayo Cohort: Hierarchical Clustering of Patients Colored by Diagnosis")

Create dendrogram with colored labels (not branches) and a legend:

# Create the dendrogram for visualization
dend_expr<- cleaned_mayo[,15:60739] %>% # Isolate expression data
                  scale %>% # Normalize
                  dist  %>% # Compute distance measure
                  hclust %>% # Cluster hierarchically
                  as.dendrogram()

tree_labels<- dendro_data(dend_expr, type = "rectangle")
tree_labels$labels<- merge(x= tree_labels$labels, y= cleaned_mayo, by.x= "label", by.y= "patient")

ggplot() +
  geom_segment(data=segment(tree_labels), aes(x=x, y=y, xend=xend, yend=yend)) +
  geom_text(data = label(tree_labels), aes(x=x, y=y, label=label, colour = Diagnosis, hjust=0), size=3) +
  #geom_point(data = label(tree_labels), aes(x=x, y=y), size=2, shape = 21) +
  coord_flip() +
  scale_y_reverse(expand=c(0.2, 0)) +
  scale_colour_brewer(palette = "Dark2") + 
  theme_dendro() +
  ggtitle("Mayo Cohort: Hierarchical Clustering of Patients Colored by Diagnosis")

Examples of the respective outputs: Colored branches ; Colored labels with legend .

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Here is an example on how to achieve the desired coloring:

library(tidyverse)
library(ggdendro)
library(dendextend)

some data:

matrix(rnorm(1000), ncol = 10) %>%
  scale %>% 
  dist  %>% 
  hclust %>% 
  as.dendrogram() -> dend_expr

tree_labels<- dendro_data(dend_expr, type = "rectangle")
tree_labels$labels <- cbind(tree_labels$labels, Diagnosis = as.factor(sample(1:2, 100, replace = T)))

Plot:

ggplot() +
  geom_segment(data = segment(tree_labels), aes(x=x, y=y, xend=xend, yend=yend))+
  geom_segment(data = tree_labels$segments %>%
                 filter(yend == 0) %>%
                 left_join(tree_labels$labels, by = "x"), aes(x=x, y=y.x, xend=xend, yend=yend, color = Diagnosis)) +
  geom_text(data = label(tree_labels), aes(x=x, y=y, label=label, colour = Diagnosis, hjust=0), size=3) +
  coord_flip() +
  scale_y_reverse(expand=c(0.2, 0)) +
  scale_colour_brewer(palette = "Dark2") + 
  theme_dendro() +
  ggtitle("Mayo Cohort: Hierarchical Clustering of Patients Colored by Diagnosis")

The key is in the second geom_segment call where I do:

tree_labels$segments %>%
     filter(yend == 0) %>%
     left_join(tree_labels$labels, by = "x")

Filter all the leaves yend == 0 and left join tree_labels$labels by x
