All my p-adj values are 1 when I call results and contrast "C" and "U." I am guessing that I have too few replicates (3 technical replicates) to observe statistically significant differences. In my PCAplot the samples were clustered (rather closely I may add) by sample rather than treatment which makes sense. Note the results from contrasting "T" and "U" did produce a couple statistically significant genes. Any ideas on how to handle/minimizing this problem?
