Identify and highlight specific rows with heatmap3

Question

[pchiang5]

Dear all,

I am using heatmap3 to show the expression of a supervised gene-expression matrix (around 500 genes in rows and 10 samples in columns). However, it is very difficult for me to identify the expression pattern of 10 genes of my interest in the dense plot. Is there any way to identify and expand (make the 10 rows wider than the others) these 10 specific genes?

Thanks.

Make a heatmap just using the most interesting genes, instead of all 500.
