Dear guys,

I am trying to use limma to find the DEGs, and the topTable function has a parameter sort.by, which explains that "p" for "P", so when code as topTreat(fit, coef=1, sort.by="p", resort.by=NULL, ...) , is it sort by p-value or adjusted p-value?

Thanks a lot!

Sorting by p-value is the same as sorting by adjusted p-value.

Thanks a lot! What if the p-value has much difference from the adjusted p-value?
