To what extent is blood a reasonable surrogate for brain in gene expression studies: estimation from mouse hippocampus and spleen
Microarrays are designed to measure genome-wide differences in gene expression. In cases where a tissue is not accessible for analysis (e.g. human brain), it is of interest to determine whether a second, accessible tissue could be used as a surrogate for transcription profiling. Surrogacy has applic...
