I suppose that experimentalists did their best when performing
the biopsy, and that you have to deal with the mix of tissues
the best you can.

I remember seeing a talk at ISMB addressing the issue:
http://bioinformatics.oupjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/17/suppl_1/S279
(although I did not have the opportunity to dig the method or use it)


Hopin' it helps,
