Table 2 The null hypothesis and the interpretation of tested probesets.

From: Factorial microarray analysis of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha: Dreissenidae, Bivalvia) adhesion

Null hypothesis

Interpretation when null hypothesis is rejected

H 0 : A = 0

The expression profile of certain genes is modified in response to the surrounding temperature.

H 0 : B = 0

The expression profile of the gene is modified by the change of water movement.

H 0 : C = 0

The expression profile of the gene is modified by dissolved oxygen level.

H 0 : D = 0

The expression profile of the gene is modified by byssogenic activity.
