The GeneChip® Xenopus tropicalis Genome Array contains probes to detect transcripts from X. tropicalis, one of the most important model organisms in developmental biology. This array was designed in close collaboration with the Xenopus research community as part of the Affymetrix® GeneChip Consortia Program.
- The array is comprised of over 58,000 probe sets representing over 51,000 X. tropicalis transcripts.
- Sequences used in the design of the array were selected from the Xenopus tropicalis UniGene database (Build 30, July 2006), GenBank® mRNAs for Xenopus tropicalis (up to September 12, 2006), and predicted gene sets from both the DOE Joint Genome Institute (Xentr4 transcripts, file creation date August 17, 2005, download date May 25, 2006) and Ensembl (release 40, download date May 2006).
Instrument and Software Required:
*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. |
