Hi Everyone, I am trying to find a way to do this in excel to tell me which genes are the most differentially expressed. Sorry, i couldn't find excel forum section in nabble. However, if it is in R it is fine. This is a microarray data, and it has been normalized. According to Dov Stekel in Microarray, i will need to calculate log ratio (control-treatment). Once you have the log ratio, calculate using paired t-test. Once you calculate the paired t-test, you will find the p-value and the t-test. Is there a way in excel to calculate the confidence level that is significant. For example, it will be under 1% for all the genes to be differentially expressed.
The book did not explained how log ratio will help me determine the significant value.
