M-fold value is the log2 of the difference in expression level, and B-value is the log odds ratio of expression levels; the B-value estimates the certainty of DE vs non-certainty of DE. The criterium used for significant expression was that B>0. Positive M-values indicate that the transcript is higher expressed in birds treated with Unpredictable Light.
