Hi, Vincent.  I'm not clear on what the study is here.  Could you
explain a bit more what you are doing?  I get the suggestion from your
email that you want to do a cross-species comparison using
microarrays.  If this is the case, this is notoriously difficult to
do, so, in addition to the comments here, I would suggest finding a
local collaborator if you are relatively new to the microarray field.
