Permute P Value and Adjusted P Value

• To generate a p value from the Z score, MAPPFinder permutes the data 1000 times and calculates new Z scores from each permutation of the data. This distribution of Z scores is used to calculate the permute p value.

• Since thousands of p values are being calculated, there is a multiple testing problem. If a p value cut-off of p<0.05 is chosen, 5% of the p values could be “significant” by chance. MAPPFinder performs the Westfall-Young adjustment on the p values to generate the adjusted p which is very stringent.

Hands-on Exercises

• Student exercises piloted this year in introductory biology and intermediate genetics courses

• Intro bio students analyzed a human prostate cancer dataset with MAPPFinder

• Genetics students analyzed a yeast metabolic timecourse dataset with MAPPFinder and drew the adenine biosynthesis pathway with GenMAPP

• A dataset comparing gene expression in the heart of a 12.5 day mouse embryo to an adult heart is also available
