We thank Professors Nagarajan and Upreti for their interest in our paper, Mukhopadhyay and Chatterjee (2007). There, we propose using Granger causality-based pathway detection in an acyclic, homoscedastic framework for microarray time-series expressions; which are generally short-duration time series involving very large number of genes. Professors Nagarajan and Upreti point out that in the presence of heteroscedasticity, and a cycle like
