[BioC] p-value output from MTP (multtest) into scientific notations

[Boel Brynedal]

Dear List,

I am using the MTP command in the multtest package and have a simple (?)
question. In my output, all (adjusted) p-values smaller than ~0.000979
equals 0. Which means that I have a list of approximately 2000
transcripts with p-value = 0. Is it possible, in the MTP command, to
format the p-values to scientific notations (10 to the power of..)?

Thankful for any suggestions,
Boel
