[BioC] DEXSeq update results change

[Alejandro Reyes]

Dear Marco Marconi,

I think that was the version where we changed from our original method, 
the one described on the paper to the recent apporach, you fill find 
this details in the section "Methodological changes since publication of 
the paper".  As you might have noticed, the dispersions are very 
correlated as well as the p-values.

I don't think the change in the p-value, and therefore the p-adjusted 
value, since it is not changing dramatically.  The simplest thing would 
be to increase your FDR threshold a bit.

Best regards,
Alejandro
