So ... are they reproducible? :-)

You only mentioned that one of your datasets has "lower standard
deviation" and a longer set of differentially expressed genes -- but I
guess that would stand to reason, no?

Is your assessment of reproducibility strictly a function of the sets
of genes called differentially expressed in the two scenarios?

If so, is the overlap of the called genes between the two sets
particularly poor?

How about looking at some type of rank correlation between the two
sets of "up" and "down" genes? Perhaps you can look at the top 10, 20,
50, etc. sets of genes and compare like so.
