Hi Nitin,

The heatmap labels do become very hard to read when there is a large number
of genes.  The easiest way to generate separate sets is to split the
original data matrix into smaller matrixes and call heatmap individually on
each one.

Of course, it makes sense to split the data up in some systematic way.  I
generally do so based on the results of a statistical model, but one could
also generate a dendogram and then plot sub-trees on different heatmaps.
