I have about 270 genes that are related with alzheimer's disease and these genes are scored depending upon their relavancy with the disease. I want to decrease the number of genes that I have to see most relevant ones. First I need to decide for a threshold. How can I decide for a threshold? Is there any implementation that I can use to classify those genes depending upon their scores? Also is there any criteria that I can use to classify genes and get the ones which are most important?

Thanks

Have you tried just plotting the score distribution? You might get lucky and they already fall into two groups accordingly.

Hehe! how often did you hope for this and it turned out like this?

There's often at least somewhat of an indication.

How did you calculated the relevancy score at the first place?
