Description

This track displays the probes from the Agilent Catalog Oligonucleotide Microarrays.

Agilent's oligonucleotide CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridization) platform enables the study of genome-wide DNA copy number changes at a high resolution. The probes on Agilent aCGH microarrays are 60-mer oligonucleotides synthesized in situ using Agilent's inkjet SurePrint technology. The probes represented on the Agilent CGH microarrays have been selected using algorithms developed specifically for the CGH application, assuring optimal performance of these probes in detecting DNA copy number changes.

The Agilent catalog CGH microarrays are printed on 1 in. x 3 in. glass slides and are available in several formats. The rat catalog SurePrint G3 microarrays formats are the 1x1M and 4x180K. The legacy rat catalog SurePrint HD microarrays are the 1x244K and 2x105K.

Subtracks were colored in alternating shades of green and orange to highlight track boundaries. The track consists of the following subtracks:
