The problem of multiple testing and its solutions for genome-wide studies. Even if there is no real change, the traditional p = 0.05 can cause 5% of the investigated tests being reported significant. Multiple testing corrections have been developed to solve this problem. Here the authors describe the one-step (Bonferroni), multi-step (step-down and step-up) and graphical methods. However, somet...
