  • Stats help, interpreting the output of bedtools fisher

    Forgive me if this is trivial, I want to make sure I understand the output of bedtools fisher. I've used it to compare several sets of intervals in the human genome and want to say whether two sets of intervals have a statistically significant overlap or not. Here are the abbreviated outputs from 6 tests (I can give the full outputs if needed):

    Code:
    Test   left    right   two-tail        ratio
    1:     0       1       0       3.655
    2:     1       1.3018e-39      2.5115e-39      1.180
    3:     1       4.9869e-47      9.3199e-47      1.198
    4:     1       3.7421e-45      6.909e-45       1.194
    5:     0.71641	0.40143	0.61502	1.123
    6:     0.63306	0.49828	0.86348	1.040
    Is it correct that: a small left p-value indicates the intervals overlap significantly more than expected (test #1 above), a small right p-value indicates the intervals overlap significantly less than expected (tests 2,3,4), and if neither the left or right p-values are small (tests 5,6) the intervals overlap "randomly" (not sure what the correct term is, basically they don't overlap more or less than would be expected)? Also I don't understand how to interpret the two-tail p-value and ratio for these tests. Thank you to anyone who can help clarify this for me.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
