Numbers of differentially expressed genes estimated from the IPF dataset. Columns show the normalization methods used to process the IPF dataset. Rows show the statistical tests performed to detect the numbers of differentially expressed genes (adjusted p-values < 0.05) from the normalized data. For each statistical test, the largest number of differentially expressed genes is shown in bold.
