Several biological categories with a well-established role in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) were selected for comparison in terms of the p-values. p-values obtained for the GP-strong gene list have the weakest statistical meaning. Statistical results yielded from GP-standard, weak, and medium filtering are in mutual agreement. MAIA gave the best p-values among all tested spot quality approaches. Presented categories were obtained with FDR < 0.3.
