Table 1 Estimated type-1 error rates with simulation data based on Nigerian people’s RNA-seq data. Estimated type-1 error rates by BALLI, DESeq2, edgeR, LLI, and voom and their 95% confidence levels were estimated for N= 12,16,20 and 24. aThe type-1 error rates are marked by bold font if their 95% confidence levels include or lower than the nominal significant level α
