Thus, tissue heterogeneity and SNP noise have a high potential to obscure sought after condition-specific gene expression changes, particularly in humans, where tissue samples can be limiting (sampling error), and inter-individual variation often is very large.
This concern, together with other recent studies that raise questions about the ability to accurately perform cross-platform comparisons of gene-expression datasets [ 42 43 ] , prevents us from drawing firm conclusions about the true extent of inter-individual differences from the published microarray data.
Our results agree quite well with several recent reports in which inter-individual variation in gene expression is explicitly examined.
On the other hand, the literature on inter-individual variation in gene expression in inbred mice is both limited and somewhat inconsistent.
There are, however, several published microarray experiments in which, although individual variation in gene expression was not explicitly addressed, variation in gene expression in age- and sex-matched individual mice or pooled samples of three or fewer mice was measured and found to be relatively small [ 36 37 38 39 ] . These include data from both peripheral tissue and brain that reported r -values for individual mice at around 0.98 [ 37 38 ] , and one publicly available dataset of inter-individual comparisons of CNS tissues [ 38 ] . We analyzed this dataset and found it to have correlation coefficients in the 0.97-0.
