[GeneX-dev] GeneX Additional Features

[Reinhard H. <rho...@in...>]

Hi there!
I have not yet installed GeneX, but will probably be using it later this
year. However, during a brief overview of the GeneX features, it appears
as though there are only two ways to detect (statitically valid)
differentially expressed genes: via t-test with bonferroni correction
and a bayesian modeller.
I think two additional features would be extremely helpful:
1. Implementation of an ANOVA-like routine that identifies
differentially expressed genes  in, for example, developmental studies
where no baseline condition can be defined, and that contains >3
conditions with a number of replicates;
2. Inplementation of non-parametric tests like Kruskal-Wallis, also in
conjunction with 1.
Please let me know what you think of these points.
