Tools & Data

This GeneChip® array is available through the Affymetrix Made-to-Order Program, which enables you to purchase selected custom array designs and previous-generation GeneChip® arrays no longer available as catalog products. Learn more about ordering and support of GeneChip® Made-to-Order arrays.

The GeneChip® Drosophila Genome Array contains probe sets interrogating more than 13,500 genes from Drosophila melanogaster. Sequences used in the design of this array can be found in Flybase (version 1).

Over 8,000 of the genes represented have at least one EST/cDNA match. Additionally, approximately 3,000 genes were identified using prediction algorithms. The remaining 2,500 sequences not only had a gene predicted algorithmically, but also showed some homology to genes from other organisms.

Note: This is a previous generation product and it can only be ordered in whole lots. Please contact Affymetrix, Inc. at 1-888-DNA-CHIP for lot sizes and pricing information.

Note: NetAffx annotation files are intended for use in automated analysis. Some are not compatible with all spreadsheet applications. Please use the NetAffx Analysis Center to limit download data to your probe sets of interest. Annotation CSV files for the exon arrays are split into a probe set-level annotation file and a transcript cluster-level annotation file; exon array CSV files are compatible with ExACT.
