The number of genes in common is 97, which corresponds to 63 orthologs. The conditional model shows the same results (not reported). The procedure indicates clearly a significant association between the two lists. Hwang et al.'s method calls 1,425 genes as differentially expressed (DE). All the genes reported by our method are included in their list.
