Hi everybody,
I am relatively new to RNA-Seq and DE statistics. We have chosen to use edgeR for DE analysis and I understood most functions so far or I could answer them via searching the literature. But now I have a problem in understanding the adjustment for multiple testing.
My questions:
1. Do I have to adjust? Are the not-adjusted p-values useless (In case I have some significant differences in DE when not-adjusted but none after adjustment)?
2. Which adjustment method is the best and why?
Thanks in advance,
philipp
