description: This platform represents the custom Agilent array for the original design (017642) and the updated design (020582).  Both designs contain identical probe sequences   (with identical probe IDs) except for two additional probes that were added to the first, original design (017642), resulting in the updated version (020582).
  
  While the probe names and probe sequences are identical between the two versions, the feature number associated with each probe name on each version is different.
  
  The accession string information in the raw data files for these arrays was derived from Neurospora crassa gene database and was included since A. terreus had no EST data available. However, the probe sequences were derived from the sequenced A. terreus strain NIH2624. Please see the 'Aspergillus terreus GeneName' column for the A. terreus gene IDs associated with the probe name and probe sequences.
  
manufacture_protocol: The microarray probes were designed using Agilent eArray application. Two 60-mer sense and 3' biased probes per gene were constructed in duplicate on the slide (4 technical replicates). See manufacturer's web site at http://www.agilent.com/ for further information.
