The #1 problem is with p-values is the word "significant". We should use "detectable" instead. Significant implies meaningful to most people, but not in a statistical context. This is quite confusing. Detectable is better because the mainstream meaning aligns with the jargon.
So:
> "Discovering statistically significant biclusters in gene expression data"
becomes:
> "Discovering statistically detectable biclusters in gene expression data"
This rephrasing makes it evident that "statistically detectable" adds little to the title. So the title becomes
> "Discovering biclusters in gene expression data"
A better title.
