[Useq-users] comment on the use of FDR

[Jesse R. <jes...@u2...>]

There have been several previous threads on how to filter results based on fold changes/FDRs etc. where I think that some of this could be related to misinterpretation of the FDR.
Although I do not completely understand the use of the FDR (or is it storey's pFDR??), but I came across an article that points to some helps/hazards for interpreting and using this value:

any comments?
