Genes Differentially Expressed between Biopsy Locations

Note.—Data are numbers of genes. FDR is less stringent than adjusted P value in controlling the false-positive rates. B statistics are more powerful in the detection of weak gene differential gene expression but are not comparable with the other two methods in terms of the false-positive rate.

^*An adjusted P value of .05 indicates that the declared differential gene expression set has a 5% chance to have at least one false-positive finding for each gene comparison of interest.

^†FDR is the percentage of falsely declared differential gene expression among the set of declared differentially expressed genes. An FDR cutoff of 0.05 indicates that 5% of the declared differentially expressed genes are expected to be false-positive findings.

^‡B statistic (log₁₀ posterior odds ratios) greater than 0 indicates equal probability or better that a gene is differentially expressed as opposed to nondifferentially expressed between sample groups.
