text: user1843: I'm running stageR as part of a pipeline based on DRIMSeq and wanted to know what it means when the transcript level padj is equal to 0, particularly when the gene is non-significant. I'm pretty sure that in some cases if the padj is 0 it means that the chance of it being different due to chance is 0. There are a lot more 0s than I would expect in sites where the gene padj is non-significant. One example, I have a gene padj that's >0.9 but both of the sites I'm looking at have a padj of 0.
  I have a couple of suspicions about why this is: either because it defaults to this if the comparative difference is or it uses 0 as a substitute to NA. Am I thinking along the right lines? Are the 0s real or are they likely to be a quirk of the package?
  
  user1995: In stageR, we automatically return stage-wise adjusted p-values of zero for transcripts coming from genes that were found to be significant and only have 1 transcript, when testing for differential transcript expression (DTE).
  Similarly, when testing for differential transcript usage (DTU), we return p-values of zero for transcripts derived from a significant gene consisting of no more than two transcripts (based on the tx2gene object you provide).
  Transcript-level p-values for non-significant genes should not occur. We provide NA's for genes with only one transcript for DTU, and by default you should get NA p-values for non-significant genes, since these genes do not proceed further than the screening stage.
  Could you provide some more details on the analysis? Which multiple testing correction have you selected?
  Would it be possible to provide a reproducible example for your analysis?
