Jun 2026

This chapter checks whether the received result tables are suitable for interpretation.

Table-Level Checks

Recommended checks include:

  • required columns are present
  • protein identifiers are not missing
  • log2FC values are numeric
  • p-values and adjusted p-values are numeric
  • duplicate protein IDs are handled
  • comparison labels are clear

QC Principle

Before interpreting biology, confirm that the result table is internally consistent.
