Dear Developers,

Could you explain what does it mean to have a pvalue 0.000000e+00 and FDR 0.000000e+00 for a biological enriched term in ORA analysis? I kept taking these values for the same biological term at the top of my different network analysis (hsa03010: Ribosome, FDR<0.05, FDR Method: BH). Other results of my analysis seem okay.
Is there a way to see exact results of both values? (like in SPSS) Unless there is an error, could you explain how these two values are calculated by this tool? Thank you!

Zero means it is smaller than 2.220446e-16, the smallest positive floating-point number in R on the machine.
