We used ozone as an abiotic stressor because the plant's response at the biochemical and molecular level shows extensive overlap with the pathogen defense response and includes the production of ROS, as well as induction of HR and SAR [ 23 24 ] . At the phenotypic level, acute ozone exposure (high dose for a short interval) causes necrotic lesions similar to those caused by avirulent pathogen infections, whereas chronic ozone exposure (low dose for an extended period of time) accelerates foliar senescence, producing similar symptoms to those caused by virulent pathogen infections [ 25 26 ] . There is evidence that elicitor-evoked ROS production, called the oxidative burst, is an essential signaling component of the defense response [ 27 ] . Moreover ozone is a component of photochemical smog and itself represents an oxidative stress to living organisms, damaging crops and forests [ 28 ] .
However, terminal diseases are a major stressor for both the patient and the family caregiver, causing a new set of challenges for both.
For closely related samples, such as RNA from a cell line and the same line perturbed with a stressor, the R-I distribution has a 'tadpole' shape similar to that shown for our self-self hybridization, although typically with a slightly broader distribution in the log 2 (ratio) than that shown in Figure 3a.
