A-MEXP-1966 - Liverpool Aedes aegypti Agilent 8x15k v1

The chip was a 8 x 15K spotted glass array constructed using Agilent Spotted Microarray Technology platform and was created on 28th March 2010. The chip was spotted with 60 nucleotide sequences of Aedes aegypti transcripts (AaegL1.2, September 2009). The 60 nt sequences were checked against the Ae. aegypti and Homo sapiens genomes for cross-hybridization, any that cross-hybridized were removed from the chip. There were approximately 15,032 Aedes transcripts used. Each transcript is represented by a single probe in a randomised layout. Each array houses 536 control probes along with 130 replicate probes. Each of the eight arrays is an identical replicate.
