[BioC] question about distribution

[Phguardiol at aol.com]

Dear all,
Maybe this is a stupid question but...
Is there a general assumption about the way the highest expression values  of 
a gene (/all genes?) in a series of chips would be, such as log normal,  
normal...? I know that there are some outliers in these part of the spectrum but  
what else if they are excluded from analysis ? Is there a paper / study which  
deals with the distribution of gene expression for extreme values that 
somebody  can suggest me ?
thanks again
Philippe
