The standard output gives a (slightly modified) version of the results from topTable for each of the coefficients in contrast, as well as decideTests. But not the output from topTableF/topTable with coef=NULL. If this is of interest, I can add it to future versions of HTqPCR? Alternatively, you can just extract the Ct data (using exprs or getCt) and run lmFit/eBayes/topTableF directly. Although this of course won't take the quality of the Ct data into account, i.e. you won't get the columns indicating whether the target and the calibrator samples are OK or Undetermined.

Hi Mala, > Hi, > > Will the results change for the Contrast Analysis from limFit and > limmaCtData? > It should be the same, provided you use the same input data (for example with ndups if you have multiple Ct values for each gene). If you're in doubt, you can always type limmaCtData, without the brackets, to check the code for the function and see how lmFit and eBayes are being used.
