this ticket is meant as a place to document ideas, discuss priority and min reqs, etc.
this idea came to us from stuart on slack:
"The logical extension of the Correlation app beyond taxa-taxa correlations is to find groups of taxa that are co-abundant across samples. This is similar to the idea of WCGNA where groups of genes are found to co-vary in expression across samples. We could use any sort of clustering method to do this, since we are already computing the matrix of all taxa-taxa abundance correlations across all samples."
To add on, he was talking about clustering up front and then going to look at only a cluster a user cares about. This is different than clustering as the last step of the analysis.
