[galaxy-user] correct input into the minimum alignment count

Dear all,

I changed the minimum alignment count to: 100, 400, and 1000

minimum alignment differential expressed genes 100 4, 000

400 2,000

1000 (default) 1,000

I was wondering, which minimum alignment we should go with? It would appear the higher the alignment, the amount of differential expressed genes are decreased.

I was also wondering if the minimum alignment refers to the # of reads per sequence? Is this true?

Also how are the FPKM and the minimum alignment are related?

Thanks, Bao
