This mode is used to combine tab delimited output files and adjust P-values for multiple testing. It is implemented by
edu.cornell.med.icb.goby.modes.FalseDiscoveryRateMode.java. The tool is efficient in that it only keeps P-values that need to be adjusted in memory, but otherwise keeps other column on disk. This strategy is expected to scale to hundreds of millions of lines of information. Since Goby 1.9.
