Rank products: a simple, yet powerful, new method to detect differentially regulated genes in replicated microarray experiments.

abstract：:Physiological and pathophysiological differences exist between the left and right kidneys; however, the molecular bases for these differences remain unknown. Since miRNAs are involved in kidney function and the development of kidney diseases, we examined their differential expression through miRNA profiling of the lef...
