Figure 1From: A statistical approach to selecting and confirming validation targets in -omics experimentsValidation strategy schematic. A set of RNA sequencing data is analyzed using statistical models (blue = high expression, yellow = low expression) and a list of significant genes is identified at a fixed false discovery rate (FDR). From the list of significant genes a few - usually the most statistically significant - are validated with the independent validation technology quantitative PCR (qPCR). Ideally the confirmation with inde-pendent technology can be used to validate the entire list of significant genes.Back to article page
