description: 60mer probes were designed to known coding regions of Trypanosoma brucei strain 927,  Approximately 8 probes per gene were designed to each of the 8562 protein coding genes, and 3 probes were designed to each RNA gene.  Each probe was placed on the chip in triplicate.  Remaining space on the array was fillied with 50mer probes spaced evenly through unnannotated regions of the genome, though these probes were not considered in the final analysis.  Only one copy of each unnannotated region probe was placed on each chip.
  
  The Platform data table reflects a condensed representation of the array's replicate features.  The full array layout representing all of the individual features (and probe sequences) is linked as a supplementary file at the foot of this record.
  
  Native NimbleGen files (ndf, ngd) are also linked as supplementary files.
