Proteomics folks out there, I have a question about correction for multiple hypothesis testing (FDR). We find a lot of experiments when Q vales are very high with p values very low. We validate the results and find they are indeed significant. What would you do in such cases?

Tip of the day for #TeamMassSpec : if youโ€™re setting up a PRM method, take the time to optimize the NCE values for each peptide. You can get a significant boost in sensitivity (particularly if you try lower values)
