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.

For comprehensive monitoring of the relative mRNA abundance of S. aureus sequences.

The GeneChip S. aureus Genome Array is useful for studying the expression of sequences in the following four strains of Staphylococcus aureus: N315 (National Institute of Technology and Evaluation, Japan), Mu50 (National Institute of Technology and Evaluation, Japan), NCTC 8325 (University of Oklahoma), and COL (TIGR).

The array contains probe sets to over 3,300 S. aureus open reading frames. Additionally, the array also contains probes to study both forward and reverse orientation of over 4,800 intergenic regions throughout the S. aureus genome.

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.
