Spotted Array N-Fold Culling

Overview

This operation keeps all genes that have an n-fold induction or repression above a user specified value. Genes are kept if they have at least one value greater than or equal to x or one value less than or equal to 1/x.

Note that an x value of less than or equal to 0.0 is not allowed.
