Text

We have re-annotated a majority of Affymetrix probe sets to ensure more accurate description of probe targets. Each probe set represents a concatenations of eleven 25-mer probes, and these have been aligned to the NCBI built 36 version of the mouse genome (mm8 in UCSC Genome Browser) by BLAT analysis. We have also re-annotated the Illumina probes and incorporated these annotations into GeneNetwork. Each probe in the Illumina Mouse–6 and Mouse–6.1 arrays is 50 nucleotides in length, and these have been aligned to NCBI built 36.
