This was likely due to the low overall number of DE genes between the respective vegetative stage comparisons of the thiamethoxam-treated plants.
With at least 1500 participants in each life stage, comparisons of factors and outcomes across the life stages will have at least 90% statistical power to detect differences in prevalence of 4% (eg, 10% vs 14%) and differences in means as small as 0.12 SD.
These GO terms were not enriched in the corresponding vegetative stage comparisons of the untreated control plants (Additional file 1: Table S1 and Additional file 2: Table S2).> -wrap-foot> These DE genes were present only in the three thiamethoxam-treated comparisons.
Common topics of investigation include the accuracy of staging, comparison of modalities, treatment response and assessment of lymph nodes for metastases.
To extend our investigation into the role of the reproductive status in males and females, we carried out a stage-by-stage comparison of the digestive gland transcripts from both sexes using a functional genomics analysis based on GO term enrichment statistics.
A stage-by-stage comparison of the amino acid content in the fruit from the myc and control plants is summarized in Table 2 and revealed that alanine, serine, threonine and glutamine contents were significantly higher in the fruit from the myc plants in the turning stage.
No other pairwise comparisons of mean number of interactions per gene were statistically significantly different, including both within-stage comparisons of gonadal to non-gonadal tissue.
To remove the bias of stage comparison, we assigned this kind of modules to stage in which they had the highest correlation coefficient.
To enable users to incorporate existing annotation information, an optional GTF merging stage involves comparison of identified features to an externally provided GTF file (Stage 4).
In a dauer versus mixed-stage comparison, four of these cellulases are significantly differentially expressed, all of them being down regulated in dauers (or equivalently, expressed predominantly in non-dauer mix-stages, Additional file 4: Table S3).
