✍️ Writing for Featured Snippets

Question-Answer Format

Target questions that get featured snippets:

## What is the difference between FDR and q-value?

**FDR (False Discovery Rate)** is the expected proportion of false positives among
rejected hypotheses, while **q-value** is the minimum FDR at which a test is called
significant.

In practical terms:
- **FDR**: Controls the overall rate of false discoveries
- **q-value**: The FDR threshold for each individual test
- **Example**: A q-value of 0.05 means this result is significant at FDR ≤ 5%

## 5 Common Single-Cell RNA-seq Analysis Mistakes

### 1. Using Cell-Level Statistics Instead of Pseudobulk

**The Problem**: Treating cells as independent samples inflates statistical power...

**The Fix**: Aggregate cells into pseudobulk samples before differential expression...
