Exon Array Design
Frequently Asked Questions
- How is this array design principle different from the GeneChip® Human Genome U133 type of arrays?
- What is the length of each Probe Selection Region (PSR)?
- What is the difference between a PSR and an Exon?
- Are all PSRs represented by 4 probes?
- Are there junction probes?
- It seems that the probes may overlap heavily within a given PSR, how is this managed?
- What type of alternative splicing events are you able to interrogate with this design?
- On average, how many probes are used to represent a corresponding GeneChip® Human Genome U133 (HG-U133) Array probe set where there are 11 probe pairs?
- Are all of the content sources taken into consideration to define the probe selection regions and how many of the PSRs are only supported by a single type of content?
- If all sources are taken into consideration for the array design, will that result in over-fragmentation of the PSRs?
- Which controls are included in the new array?
- Will the probe and target sequences be made available?
- What kinds of annotation will be available?
- Can I use this Human Exon Array to detect the expression of microRNAs?
- Are mitochondrial RNAs represented on this Human Exon Array?
