18. For each gene, a P value for differential expression between the two conditions was calculated, by a t test. To simultaneously test multiple hypotheses, P values were corrected in a false-discovery rate analysis (17). False-discovery rates are commonly used for the analysis of large date sets (such as microarrays), which limits false-positives, akin to a Bonferroni correction. In this case, 366 genes were found to be significantly differentially expressed, at a false-discovery rate of 1%.
