Hello there, 

I've been struggling to find a non-parametric test to determine significantly differentially expressed genes in sample sets with lots of features. 

Running Wilcox etc always gives me the same p-value even if I do something like:

ttest <- apply(dataset, 2, kruskal.test)

Does anyone know how to determine top features non-parametrically? 

Cheers!

Why do you want a non-parametric test?

Hi Chris, cause I'm dealing with very small n of samples and can't be certain conditions for parametric tests are met.

I'd just use limma or one of the other bioconductor packages like DESEQ2.
