DGE for non model

Hello,

I would like to ask about DGE Why some research use FDR , P value, and log2 fold-change value (≤0,05) and other chose the value less than <0.01when they want to find the DEG

My question is depend on what it should be chosen?

I hope if some one can explain it for me as i am doing DGE for the first time

Dear loly.pearl86 , Hi.

please have look at:

Some people even use (adjusted) p<0.1, the threshold to use depends on how much of a false-positive rate you can afford in subsequent experiments.

Thanks , but most of what i read was useing FDR <0.05
