Tomato is an important food crop worldwide, and the GeneChip® Tomato Genome Array is designed specifically to monitor gene expression in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). The comprehensive array consists of over 10,000 L. esculentum probe sets to interrogate over 9,200 L. esculentum transcripts. The Tomato Genome Array is particularly useful for agriculture researchers studying tomato genetics. This array was created in collaboration with leading tomato researchers through the Affymetrix GeneChip® Consortia Program. Sequence information for this array was selected from public data sources including Lycopersicon esculentum UniGene Build #20 (October 3, 2004) and GenBank® mRNAs up to November 5, 2004.
*GeneChip Scanner 3000 High-Resolution Update is standard on all instruments shipped starting in September 2003 with serial number series 502. Previous versions (serial number series 501) will require the 00-0110 GeneChip Scanner 3000 High-Resolution Update to be installed. |
