Pathway analysis is a powerful tool when looking at biological data. But how can you interpret the results if you don't fully understand the statistical results? In this brief video, we walk you through relevant statistical topics such as:

• What does multiple hypothesis testing mean?

• How do you control for multiple hypothesis testing when performing pathway analysis?

• Which corrected p-value method should you use?

• What does the p-value threshold mean in terms of your results?

• Where can I adjust the p-values of overlap in IPA?
