Hi,
Interested in PCA+clustering on gene expression data? Appealing.
Difficult to resist the temptation to recommend the following article:
"Principal Component Analysis for clustering gene expression data" by Ka
Yee Yeung and Walter L Russo in Bioinformatics, 17(9):763-774 2001
(hoping the ref. is correct). You might also be interested by other
articles on the first author's website dealing with model based
clustering (for gene expression datasets). Though 'old', these papers
are still fundamental (personal opinion) and will help retrieve more
recent works, books, discussions, development...on the subject.
As mentioned in another response a simple PubMed search or even Google
leads to this kind of references...
Best wishes.
