I was doing some gene expression analysis using this tool http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/summary.jsp. However, I have a confusion about what benjamini is. I fed it some gene list and it gave me some potential pathways the genes belong to(KEGG pathways). However, I have a confusion what this column called benjamini is. What does it denote? Any suggestions?

Probably from Yoav Benjamini and something to do with a statistical test of False Discovery Rate. – Alan Boyd Feb 25 at 21:42

It is a Benjamini-Hochberg q-value, similar to a p-value corrected for multiple hypothesis testing using the false discovery rate.
