Identify Significantly Changed Pathways
Since in each condition, the statistical test (hypergeometric test) to check the significance
of pathway changes is performed on a set of pathways simultaneously, the raw p values need to
be corrected for multiple testing. Plant MetGenMAP provides the most commonly used multiple
test correction method - False Discovery Rate (FDR), as well as Bonferroni correction method.
Based on the user specified parameters, a list of significantly changed pathways is returned.
