Etymology
[edit]Noun
[edit]eigengene (plural eigengenes)
- (genetics) (mathematics) (physics) One of a set of right singular vectors of a genes x samples matrix that tabulates, e.g., the mRNA or gene expression of the genes across the samples.

- 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.
