Rstudio: plot a horizontal dendrogram without the labels at the same level

Question

I want to do a hierarchical cluster and then get the horizontal plot without the labels at same level.

My code:

dim(bin_mat) # 53194   519    
data = bin_mat[,1:10]
names(data) = seq(1:10)
mydist.jacc <- vegdist(t(data), method = "jaccard")    
myhclust <- hclust(mydist.jacc,method='average')   
plot(myhclust,main = "Genome Clustering")

Basically, I want the last plot but in the horizontal without the labels at the same level.

I tried this command, but the labels are in the same level.

plot(as.dendrogram(myhclust), horiz = TRUE)

Answer 1

Since you didn't provide your dataset, I used the "USArrets". I believe you will understand what you need to do based on the code below.

data(USArrests)
dd <- dist(scale(USArrests), method = "euclidean")
myhclust <- as.dendrogram(hclust(dd, method = "average"))
plot(myhclust,  xlab = "Height", horiz = TRUE)
