    Stats help, interpreting the output of bedtools fisher

    Forgive me if this is trivial, I want to make sure I understand the output of bedtools fisher. I've used it to compare several sets of intervals in the human genome and want to say whether two sets of intervals have a statistically significant overlap or not. Here are the abbreviated outputs from 6 tests (I can give the full outputs if needed):

    Code:
    Test   left    right   two-tail        ratio
    1:     0       1       0       3.655
    2:     1       1.3018e-39      2.5115e-39      1.180
    3:     1       4.9869e-47      9.3199e-47      1.198
    4:     1       3.7421e-45      6.909e-45       1.194
    5:     0.71641	0.40143	0.61502	1.123
    6:     0.63306	0.49828	0.86348	1.040
    Is it correct that: a small left p-value indicates the intervals overlap significantly more than expected (test #1 above), a small right p-value indicates the intervals overlap significantly less than expected (tests 2,3,4), and if neither the left or right p-values are small (tests 5,6) the intervals overlap "randomly" (not sure what the correct term is, basically they don't overlap more or less than would be expected)? Also I don't understand how to interpret the two-tail p-value and ratio for these tests. Thank you to anyone who can help clarify this for me.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
