The clone inserts were amplified directly from bacterial cell cultures with T7 and T3 primers, purified, dried, resuspended in water and printed with 50% DMSO on UltraGaps slides (Corning) using a ProSys 5510 Microarray Printer. The 16 control spikes were printed by each pin, at the beginning or at the end of the pin printing area. The spotted slides were cross-linked and stored in a desiccator.

Description
Glass slide with 37,632 spots (34,462 unique cDNA clone inserts) in 48 blocks consisting of 28 columns and 28 rows. Blocks are arranged in 12 rows and 4 columns. The set of 34,462 cDNA clone inserts was identified from the University of Iowa EST collection. The clone inserts were amplified with T7 and T3 primers and printed with 50% DMSO on UltraGaps slides (Corning) using a ProSys 5510 Microarray Printer A small set of full-length clones were ordered from the IMAGE Consortium and spotted on the array.
