Additional Information
- Genes without more than 0.5 CPM in at least 2 samples are insignificant and filtered out.
- 37300 of 57514 (64.85%) genes were filtered out for low expression.
- TMM was the method used to normalise library sizes.
- The limma-voom method was used.
- Weights were not applied to samples.
- eBayes was used with robust settings (robust = TRUE).
- MD Plot highlighted genes are significant at FDR of 0.05 and exhibit log2-fold-change of at least 1.
