The Diff Score is a transformation of the p-value that provides directionality to the p-value based on the difference between the average signal in the reference group vs. the comparison group. The formula is: DiffScore = 10*sgn(µcond-µref)*log10p; For a p-value of 0.05, DiffScore = ± 13; For a p-value of 0.01, DiffScore = ± 22; For a p-value of 0.001, DiffScore = ± 33 The p-value column is hidden by default. To display this column, use the Column Chooser.
