Each gene in the table
is associated with the following values:
  • 1
    logFC
    logarithmic Fold Change value − indicates the difference of gene expression in a case vs Controls sample groups. It consists of two components: the left component is an average Fold Change value across all case samples; the right one indicates the interval with the majority of fold changes within each sample
  • 2
    P-value
    P-value − is a probability value indicating the statistical significance of the observed gene differential expression <0.05 is a standard significance threshold value
  • 3
    Q-value
    Q-value − is a False Discovery Rate (FDR) corrected p-value. We recommend using this value as a default parameter to estimate statistical significance of a given gene. <0.05 is a standard significance threshold value
