In total, three lines of evidence suggest the presence of detectable signal in the 4/5-somite dataset, despite such high levels of noise: (1) downregulation of our positive control gene set (red blood cell-specific genes) was highly significant; (2) false-positives declined as fold-changes increased above 4-fold, indicating that our 4/5-somite array analyses can more accurately detect larger fold-changes; and (3) independent lines of evidence from other experimental systems are also beginning to link Wnt signaling with blood formation [ 48 - 50 ].
