Topconfects: a package for confident effect sizes in differential expression analysis provides a more biologically useful ranked gene list

Abstract Differential gene expression analysis may discover a set of genes too large to easily investigate, so a means of ranking genes by biological interest level is desired. p values are frequently abused for this purpose. As an alternative, we propose a method of ranking by confidence bounds on...
