description: Probes:
  Constitutive Exonic Probes (30,125): that will recognize all known transcripts of a gene.
  Alternatively Spliced / Skipped Exonic Probes (4,201): will recognize exons that are present in some, but not all transcripts of a gene.
  Non Coding RNA Probes (196): recognizing non-protein coding transcripts (ribosomal RNAs, miRNAs).
  BCR / TCR Genic / Regional Probes (372): recognizing transcripts from genes that undergo somatic rearrangement.
  Mitochondrial Probes (13): recognizing mouse mitochondrion derived DNA sequences.
  Transgenic / Cassette Probes (37): recognizing elements commonly used for transgenic constructs (e.g. GFP, YFP).
  Murine Viral Probes (358): recognizing mouse viral pathogen sequences.
  Controls:
  Negative Controls (317 buffer only and 97): Buffer only and 97 random sequences are positioned throughout the set to assist in determining background.
  Positive Controls (1,152): recognizing a small subset of mouse transcripts.
  Doped Controls (1,916): recognizing non-mouse sequences that can be spiked into RNA samples.
manufacture_protocol: The Mouse Exonic Evidence Based Oligonucleotide (MEEBO) array was developed by a group of researchers from Stanford and UCSF with collaborators from Rockefeller, Basel, and the Stowers Institute. The oligonucleotide set consists of 38,784 70mer probes that were designed using a transcriptome-based annotation of exonic structure for genomic loci.
  Tip configuration : 48 tips (4x12)
