EASE Hierarchy Thresholds


The GO term hierarchy viewer presents a color representing the p-value of each node based on EASE cluster analysis EASE Score or Fisher's Exact Test. Note that in verbose rendering mode the actual p-value is displayed. For quick assessment, two thresholds are set to bin the p-values of the nodes in the hierarchy. The current thresholds are displayed in the key in the header of the viewer.

The Lower Threshold ranges from 0 to 1 and should be smaller than the Upper Threshold, thus indicating a higher or more stringent level of significance. The Upper Threshold is set similarly but is constrained to be higher that the lower threshold.
