[BioC] edgeR question

[Naomi Altman]

Hi Zhe,
1. First normalize and then do the DE 
analysis.  (I found this confusing in the vignette, too.)

2. I do not suggest using FDR at this time.  The 
standard FDR computations need to be adjusted for 
count data.  I do not think this has been worked out yet.
