Learn more about Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array coverage

The GeneChip® Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array enables whole-genome, gene-level expression studies for well-characterized genes. It is a single GeneChip®-brand array comprised of more than 750,000 unique 25-mer oligonucleotide features constituting more than 28,000 gene-level probe sets.

The design of the Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array is based primarily on a subset of GeneChip® Mouse Exon 1.0 ST Array probes that map to well-supported exons of known genes. Discovery content based solely on Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) and RefSeq XMs is not interrogated by the Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array. However, predicted Ensembl EnsGene transcripts are included along with other EnsGene content.

The array design was based on sequences and gene annotations obtained from the following sources and used to group probes into gene-level probe sets. In some cases, these sequences were used to select additional new probes not present on the Mouse Exon 1.0 ST Array:

	•	The February 2006 mouse genome sequence (UCSC mm8, NCBI build 36)
	•	RefSeq NM (curated and provisional; not predicted) mRNA sequences (19,719 sequences) current to April 3, 2007
	•	GenBank® complete coding sequence mRNAs (35,257 sequences) current to November 13, 2006
	•	Mouse Ensembl transcripts current to April 3, 2007 (35,882 transcripts)
	•	Syntenically mapped full-length mRNAs and RefSeq NMs from human (68,820 sequences) and rat (20,409 sequences)
