Chris: In general, I think Wheat Zoomer is a pretty good panel, but I do have some concerns about reliability and because I’m not sure of their methodology for replicating each sample to make sure that the results are valid. There are also a few markers that are on Cyrex 3 that are not on Wheat Zoomer that I think are really important.
