Differential Expression Section

The Differential Expression section consists of one table for each pair of samples. Each table has the following fields.

Column Heading

Description

Gene Name

The name of the gene.

Amplicon ID

The amplicon identifier constructed from the gene name, transcript ID, left exon, right exon, and assay ID.

Assay ID

The unique identifier for the probe set.

Sample Name 1

The first sample being compared, which can be one or more replicates.

Sample Name 2

The second sample being compared, which can be one or more replicates.

Raw Mean Counts 1

The mean of counts for sample 1 across replicates.

Raw Mean Counts 2

The mean of counts for sample 2 across replicates.

Normalized Mean Counts 1

The mean raw counts 1 after library size normalization.

Normalized Mean Counts 2

The mean raw counts 2 after library size normalization.

Fold Change

The ratio of mean normalized counts for sample 2 divided by mean normalized counts for sample 1 (mnc2/mnc1).

log2(Fold Change)

The log2(ratio of mnc2/mnc1).

P-value

The statistical significance of the differential expression.

Q-value

The p-value adjusted for false discovery rate (FDR) using the Benjamini-Hochberg method.
