Filtering of Non-significant Genes
Filtering of non-significant genes is done so that analysis can be done on selected genes. Non-significant genes are removed by specifying relative change in expression with respect to normal control. Values for over-expressed and under-expressed genes are defined as 2 and −2 respectively. As a result of filtering, few genes are retained. Those remaining genes are then subjected to statistical analysis.

Famous quotes containing the word genes:
“Whether you want it or not,
your genes have a political past,
your skin a political tone.
your eyes a political color.
...
you walk with political steps
on political ground.”
