HUMAN ARRAYS

HU4.6K ARRAYS-RETIRED

We are processing the Research Genetics Human 40K sequence verified clone set to generate arrayable PCR products. A hyperlinked list of the MM4.6K slide is available at the Yale Microarray Database and the set can be queried here.

  • The Human-4.6K slide represents the first 48 @ 96-well plates, 4,608 cDNAs, from the Research Genetics 40K list. They are arrayed in a 4 X 4 array with 24 X 24 spots in each subarray. Each cDNA is represented by duplicate adjacent spots. The center-to-center spot distance is 175 µm and the spots are 125 µm diameter. There are two identical arrays on each slide separated by sufficient space to allow hybridization of each array under a separate coverslip. At the first two positions in each subarray there are cy3 and cy5- end labeled M13 oligonucleotide spots as "landing-lights".

    The controls are present as two lines of spots separated from the array above sub-array one.

    They are as follows:

  • HU-4.6K-controls

Axon GAL file -Human 4.6K-Control

HU-4.6K-C


IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: We recommend that researchers re-sequence any clone/EST which yields interesting expression patterns. There is an intrinsic level of mismatch between clone assignment and actual identity in the Research Genetics human clone set which our preliminary data on PCR products suggest may be between 35-40%. Please contact Janet Hager if you have sequencing data generated by others at Yale, or beyond, that you are able to reciprocally share with us regarding the Research Genetics RG_Hs_seq_ver_060101 set.


OHU16K ARRAYS-RETIRED

The OHU16K array is created from a set of 16K Operon 70 mer oligonucleotides. Check here for details on the set and here for a list of gene descriptions.

Protocols for labeling and hybridizing these arrays are available with the slides.

The Human oligo array is printed with Telechem Stealth SMP3 pins in 32 pin conformation. The OHU16K array has 24 columns and 22 rows with only 4 spots on the 23 rd row in each of 32 subarrays. To aid analysis the "grid" pattern for this array (.gps file) for Axon GenePix Pro analysis is downloadable below:

MOUSE ARRAYS

MM4.6K ARRAYS-RETIRED

We have processed the Research Genetics 5K sequence-verifed clone set to arrayable PCR products. This link allows researchers to search the Research Genetics - Mouse 5K clone list. in Excel. A hyperlinked list of the MM4.6K slide is available at the Yale Microarray Database and the set can be queried here.

The MM-4.6K slide represents the first 48 @ 96-well plates, 4,608 cDNAs, from the Research Genetics 5K list. They are arrayed in a 4 X 4 array with 24 X 24 spots in each subarray. Each cDNA is represented by duplicate adjacent spots. The center-to-center spot distance is 175 µm and the spots are 125 µm diameter. There are two identical arrays on each slide separated by sufficient space to hybridize each array under a separate coverslip. At the first two positions in each subarray there are cy3 and cy5- end labeled M13 oligonucleotide spots as "landing-lights".

The controls for both the MM4.6K and MM4.6K-R are present as two lines of spots separated from the array above sub-array one.

They are as follows:

Axon GAL file-Mouse 4.6K-Control

MM-4.6K-C

 


IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: We recommend that researchers re-sequence any clone/EST which yields interesting expression patterns. There is an intrinsic level of mismatch between clone assignment and actual identity in the Research Genetics mouse clone set which may be anywhere between 5-20%. We are in the process of resequencing approximately 5% of the clones to assess the level of mismatch in our particular replicate set. Please contact Janet Hager if you have sequencing data done by others at Yale, or beyond, that you are able to reciprocally share with us regarding the Research Genetics rg_mm_seq_ver_011100 set.


NIA15K ARRAYS

We have processed an NIA 15K mouse cDNA clone set which was made available to us from NCI. The first releases of this slide are now available - October, 2001. More information on the cDNA set can be found here.

15,000 genes per array -1 rep -1 array/slide

 


ARABIDOPSIS ARRAYS

Arabidopsis 9.2K slides are available for Yale and non-Yale investigators. 9,216 clones, single spot, 175 µm center-to-center distance, 2 arrays per slide.
