    Question originally asked on the mev user help mailing list:

    I am new to MeV. Please bear with me if my question is primitive. I
    have the following normalized expression level file. ko* are for the
    knock out cases. wt* are for the control cases. I am wondering what
    the procedure I should follow to compute the list of differentially
    expressed genes. Can somebody help me?

      There are several ways to find differentially expressed genes with MeV. Two of the most commonly used methods are the t-Test and SAM modules. A full explanation of how to use these two methods is found in the MeV manual.
