Movement of stem cells from mother to fetus Yes, a link to the reference would be most helpful. In the meantime, I found some abstract from a conference where they apparently presented this work here: Chimeric maternal cells as T lymphocyte targets in pediatric SLE |

Which X-Y chromosomes have the developmental genes for mammals? Can you clarify what "toolkit" genes you are referring to? Do you have a link/citation for the source you read about them from? I'm guessing you are not referring to the toolkit genes listed here, so a bit more clarity might be helpful. |

How is gene expression estimated? @leonardo: Can you clarify what you mean by MS being highly sensitive? It's my understanding that one problem with MS that you only get reliable (any) readouts for the most abundant of proteins in your sample, no? |

Problems with analysis of small RNAseq data - Adapter trimming @WYSIWYG: I suggested biostar, not seqanswers ;-) Still, this forum is less suitable simply because your question is more of a bioinformatics nature than strictly biology one -- and you will find more expertise related to bioinformatics on biostar than here. I would imagine that there are likely many people on biostar who are strong bioinformaticians that do not have accounts on this site, and you would benefit from getting their input. Consider, for example, why there are different SE sites for math and stats :-) |

What are the limitations of commercial-grade DNA genotyping compared to full sequencing? @nico: Yeah, very true. You can also get a copy of the data, though, which is cool. Also, they're also currently offering exome capture for some already existing members ... a look towards what the future may hold, perhaps. |

Confusion related to gene expression There are other ways to convert id's to genes. I'd be surprised if you can't query BioMart to get that answer (look in the ID Converter tab). It also looks like the DAVID website has a conversion tool that may get you what you need. |

Confusion related to gene expression I suggest you use the limma package in bioconductor to analyze the data. I'm not sure why one study has data from two chips -- it's unfortunate. You'd first have to study each batch separately, then do some meta-analysis to combine the results from each together. If you're not comfortable programming, you might try Gene Pattern, though I've never used it. Lastly: you should likely post bioinformatics related questions over on biostar. |

What is the best way to read and normalize large amounts of Agilent data into R? @terdon: that wouldn't work, "the usual" array normalization methods pretty much require working on all of the data together (so it needs to be loaded in memory). That having been said, this question should definitely be asked on the bioconductor mailing-lsit, biostars.org. |

Can a tumor produce something not currently found in our own bodies? @Armatus Take a look at teratomas for examples of crazy "whole things" growing in/from a tumor. That first paragraph (with the references) will surely pique your interest. |

Does the DNA sequence of a butterfly match that of the caterpillar it used to be? That's a bit different of a scenario ... or do you look at a carton of a dozen eggs and classify them as 12 living and breathing organisms sitting on a shelf? |
