Hi Son,
If I understand your question correctly, there is no default. In other
words, if you look at the api for topTags, you see:
topTags(object, n=10, adjust.method="BH", sort.by="PValue")
and there isn't anything there to threshold the results by FDR. However,
you can use decideTestsDGE:
decideTestsDGE(object, adjust.method="BH", p.value=0.05)
which will allow you to select an FDR (or other (un)adjusted p-value) on
which to threshold, or you can use the default of 0.05.
Best,
Jim
