[BioC] Comparing limma results of two different groupings

[Daniel Brewer]

I have been using limma to do differential analysis between two
different groupings, both splitting the samples into two groups.  The
results for one set give approx. 100 significant genes (adj.
p-value<0.05) whereas the other gives approx. 1000 significant genes.
Is this suggestive that the second grouping is more "accurate" than the
other?  What is the best way to test this in a statistical manner.

Many thanks
