High-density DNA array prepared with Maskless Array Synthesizer (MAS) technology. See manufacturer's website at http://www.nimblegen.com/.
Description
Nimblegen Drosophila yakuba custom design array (385K) for expression in D. yakuba, D. santomea and hybrids. An average of 10 array element probes per gene were selected without-bias vis-a-vis position within the gene model. Protein coding gene predictions were obtained from final genome assemblies (Comparative Assembly Freeze 1 CAF1, http://rana.lbl.gov/drosophila/caf1.html) and genome annotations in D. yakuba (GLEANR set, http://rana.lbl.gov/~venky/AAA/freeze_20061030/protein_coding_gene/GLEANR/annotation). See details of arrays see Llopart (2012). The Platform data table reflects a condensed representation of the expression array's replicate (SEQ_ID) features. The .ndf and .ngd files are linked below as supplementary files.
